The “Ivy League” — also known as the “Ivies” — is a term used to describe a group of eight highly selective colleges and universities in the northeastern United States.
These institutions are considered to be some of the most prestigious and selective in the country, and they are known for their academic excellence, distinguished faculty, and distinguished alumni. The Ivy League schools are:
- Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island)
- Columbia University (New York City, New York)
- Cornell University (Ithaca, New York)
- Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire)
- Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
- Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey)
- University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
- Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut)
Ivy League schools are known for their strong liberal arts programs, and they also offer a wide range of professional and graduate programs in a variety of fields. They are also highly competitive, and admission to these schools is very difficult.
