The university in the United States with the largest endowment market value in 2024 was Harvard University, with an endowment fund value of about 51.98 billion U.S. dollars. U.S. higher education Colleges and universities in the United States rank highly among the world’s most prestigious institutions of higher education. Many universities are particularly well known for their strong research capabilities and their connections to many Nobel Prize winning laureates.The U.S. university system is largely decentralized. Except for service academies and staff colleges, the federal government does not directly regulate universities; public universities are administered solely by the individual states. Besides the state administered public universities, there are many private universities in the United States, most are non-profit institutions, similar to the public universities, but there are also a number of institutions that rely on profit (Walden University in Minnesota, for example).In general, tuition fees are required to be paid by students at American universities. Public universities generally charge lower tuition rates to in-state students, than to out-of-state students. Private universities are often much more expensive than public ones because they do not receive funding from state governments.American students are often required to take out student loans to supplement scholarships and grants provided by diverse sources to be able to pay for tuition. Student debt has become a major issue in the United States in recent years, with many Americans unsure if they can even afford to pay off their student loans in the future.

In the school year 2022-2023, Northwestern University was the most expensive college in the United States, with a total annual cost of 89,394 U.S. dollars for out-of-state students. The total annual cost includes tuition and fees, plus room and board.

This statistic shows a break down of the highest level of education achieved by Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans as listed in 2012. 27 of those who make the list of America's billionaires held a high school degree as their highest level of completed education and had never been to college. Amongst the most infamous college dropouts turned billionaire entrepreneurs on the list are of course Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Sean Parker.

There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

Using a rich dataset that merges student-level school records with birth records, and leveraging a student fixed effects design, we explore how a Florida private school choice program affected public school students’ outcomes as the program matured and scaled up. We observe growing benefits (higher standardized test scores and lower absenteeism and suspension rates) to students attending public schools with more pre-program private school options as the program matured. Effects are particularly pronounced for lower-income students, but results are positive for more affluent students as well. Local and district-wide private school competition are both independently related to student outcomes.

Nursery schools' biggest challenge at the moment has been dubbed the "childcare cliff." As crucial American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding ended and additional appropriations were cut out of legislation, nursery schools inherited the cost of maintaining attractive salaries in an environment where inflation pushed workers' living expenses through the roof. Nursery schools are forced to cut staff and limit capacity or impose tuition hikes. Some nursery schools successfully passed some costs on as over half of US families lack meaningful access to licensed care, giving them little influence over nursery school prices. Still, underwhelming enrollment has exacerbated a labor shortage and weighed on profit as nursery schools struggle to offer enticing wages. Nursery schools that cater to middle-income families have especially struggled with the childcare cliff and labor shortage. Middle-class families squeezed by inflation have increasingly looked to alternative childcare instead of nursery schooling, forcing many schools to permanently close. On the other hand, higher-income families continue to seek formal childcare, and nursery schools in underprivileged communities still receive substantial federal assistance. The moderate success of high- and low-end nursery schools has offset others' challenges and kept revenue on the rise at a CAGR of 1.0% to an estimated $17.0 billion over the five years through 2024. Revenue is set to dip 1.7% in 2024 alone. Families will have more to spend on child care as earnings and per capita disposable income climb through the next period. Nursery schools that cater to high-income parents will leverage reduced price sensitivity to charge higher tuition and overcome labor-related issues. At the same time, falling interest rates will lead to job creation and rising employment, leaving fewer parents at home to care for their kids themselves. Some states, like Alabama and Idaho, are bolstering nursery schools by making up for the lack of federal funds, so continuing closures will vary by state. Still, nursery schools will face continued headwinds as birth rates decline in the US and the number of children in need of care shrinks. Revenue is set to swell at a CAGR of 0.5% to $17.4 billion through the end of 2029.

As of the 2023/24 academic year, graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) had a starting salary of 110,200 U.S. dollars, and a mid-career salary of 196,900 U.S. dollars. Top universities in the United States One of the top universities in the United States, Harvey Mudd College, is located in Claremont, California.

The best university in the United States in 2021 belonged to the University of California, Berkeley. The Ivy League The Ivy League is a group of eight private universities in the Northeastern United States. It is not only a collegiate athletic conference, but also a group of highly respected academic institutions. They are usually regarded as the best eight universities in the United States and the world. They are extremely selective with their admissions process. However, these universities are extremely expensive to attend. Despite the high price tag, students who graduate from Princeton University have the highest early career salary out of all Ivy League attendees in 2021. This is compared to the overall expected starting salaries of recent college graduates across the United States, which was less than 35,000 U.S. dollars.

The USA electric school bus market is experiencing robust growth, driven by stringent emission regulations, increasing environmental concerns, and government incentives aimed at promoting sustainable transportation. The market, currently valued at an estimated $500 million in 2025 (based on the global market size and the significant proportion of school bus adoption in the US), is projected to expand at a CAGR of approximately 5% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by a significant shift towards electrification in the public transportation sector, coupled with the increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with reduced tailpipe emissions in school environments. Key players such as Blue Bird Corporation, Navistar Inc (IC Bus), and Lion Electric are leading this transition, investing heavily in R&D and production capacity to meet the growing demand. The market segmentation shows a strong preference towards Type A and Type B school buses, particularly in urban areas, due to their maneuverability and suitability for shorter routes. While the initial investment cost of electric school buses remains higher than their diesel counterparts, decreasing battery costs and increasing operational efficiencies (lower fuel and maintenance expenses) are making them increasingly cost-competitive over their lifespan. The market's growth, however, isn't without challenges. Infrastructure limitations, particularly concerning charging infrastructure, remain a significant hurdle, especially in rural areas with limited grid capacity. Range anxiety among school districts and concerns about battery lifespan and replacement costs also need addressing. Despite these restraints, the long-term outlook for the USA electric school bus market remains highly positive. Continued technological advancements in battery technology, government support in the form of grants and subsidies, and the increasing availability of charging infrastructure are expected to accelerate adoption in the coming years. The evolving regulatory landscape, pushing for cleaner transportation, will further propel the market's growth trajectory, making it a highly attractive sector for investment and innovation. Recent developments include: September 2023: Audi of America and IC Bus Navistar school buses illustrated the role of direct connection via Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X). Technology may play a role in providing potentially life-saving safety technologies for the 26 million students who ride school buses in the United States. The driver receives a direct message alert in the cockpit of the Audi vehicle using C-V2X direct communications technology. It will provide early notification of an approaching school bus stop situation even when the school bus is not visible to the driver., March 2023: First Student, North America's biggest supplier of student transportation services, chose Bechtel to assist its industry-leading electrification efforts. Bechtel will begin designing and installing charge stations for one of First Student's electrification projects in the United States., March 2022: The school bus manufacturers Highland Electric Fleets and Thomas Built Buses (TBB) announced an expansion of their mutual relationship to reduce upfront costs and accelerate the adoption of electric school buses across the country.

Political scientists have largely overlooked the democratic challenges inherent in the governance of U.S. public education — despite profound implications for educational delivery and, ultimately, social mobility and economic growth. In this study, we consider whether the interests of adult voters who elect school boards in each community are likely to be aligned with the educational needs of local students. Specifically, we compare voters and students in four states on several policy-relevant dimensions. Using official voter turnout records and rich microtargeting data, we document considerable demographic differences between voters who participate in school board elections and the students attending the schools that boards oversee. These gaps are most pronounced in majority nonwhite jurisdictions and school districts with the largest racial achievement gaps. Our novel analysis provides important context for understanding the political pressures facing school boards and their likely role in perpetuating educational and, ultimately, societal inequality.
