US State Universities List

US State Universities list with name of state and university, check all state and territorial universities in the United States of America. The United States is home to a wide range of state universities, which are public institutions of higher education funded and operated by individual states. These universities provide affordable education options and offer a variety of degree programs to students. Most state universities receive at least part of their funding from the state, although many have substantial income from tuition and fees, endowment proceeds, donations (such as from alumni or philanthropists), and revenue from royalties.

What's in this list? hide

The concept of state university comes from the fact that these public colleges or universities are funded by or associated with the state government. In some cases, these institutions of higher learning are part of a state university system, while in other cases they are not. Several U.S. territories also administer public colleges and universities. State universities usually offer lower tuition costs to in-state residents. Substantial financial support is also provided by the federal government, particularly through federal financial aid.

Although most of these institutions are associated with state governments, a small number of public institutions are directly funded and governed by the U.S. federal government, including the service academies, the Community College of the Air Force, the Naval Postgraduate School, the Air Force Institute of Technology, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, military War colleges and staff colleges, and Haskell Indian Nations University.

Important Facts on US State Universities List

  • The list includes schools that grant first-professional doctorates only (e.g., medical schools, law schools, or veterinary schools) that are independent of any other school in a state system.
  • Satellite campuses that do not have accreditation separate from the mother institution are not included in the list, e.g. University of Washington Tacoma remains an integral part of the University of Washington, which is based in Seattle.
  • Non-bachelor’s degree-granting institutions, such as graduate schools, are also listed in US State Universities List.
  • In some states, there are “flagship” campuses in the state’s university system. The flagship campus is the most prestigious or the one with the largest student population, e.g. the University of Maryland, College Park campus in the University System of Maryland, the Indiana University Bloomington campus in the Indiana University System etc.
  • There are a number of states that have more than one university system. For eg – California with 2; Colorado with 2; Indiana with 2; New York with 2; Tennessee with 2; and Texas with 6 (the most).
  • To see universities who are members of Association of American Universities, check AAU University List 2023 USA.

A few universities such as George Washington University, Georgetown University, Gallaudet University, Howard University, and American University are private universities in the District of Columbia that are federally chartered by the United States Government.
