AcademicInfluence.com Reveals the 100 Richest Universities in North America.
FORT WORTH, Texas, August 12, 2020 — At a time when many colleges and universities were already facing cashflow woes, along came a global pandemic. So a significant endowment may be a measure not only of a school’s ability to attract top talent and fund research but also whether it will live to teach another day.
AcademicInfluence.com, who innovated the Influence Engine technology that measures the global influence of institutions and people, has announced North America’s higher education institutions with the most significant financial strength.
The five wealthiest universities in North America:
Harvard University, $39.4 Billion
The University of Texas System, $30.9 Billion
Yale University, $30.3 Billion
Stanford University, $27.7 Billion
Princeton University, $26.1 Billion

The Richest Universities in North America
“Healthy financials enable better scholarship and more research opportunities, as well as the power to attract the top talent in every field of study,” said Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University.
“Students who want to make an impact need to know which institutions can make their dreams possible. Schools struggling to pay their bills can’t focus on changing the world for the better. The colleges and universities in our analysis have plenty of funds on hand. They can venture beyond basic education and equip students and faculty with what they need to make a lasting contribution to scholarship and to improving our future.”
“For a college or university, strong financials help build and expand influence,” added Macosko. “Those institutions that flourish create opportunities for students, faculty, and even alumni that might otherwise not exist. This ranking of North America’s richest universities from AcademicInfluence.com is just the thing for anyone who needs the most out of education.”
Criteria considered for this college ranking include undergraduate tuition costs, professor salaries, research expenditures, and overall endowment. Each of the 100 entries features insights into the school’s strengths and benefits. Additionally, AcademicInfluence.com provides a separate school ranking based on the highest annual research expenditures alone.
The Richest Universities in North America ranking spotlights AcademicInfluence.com’s commitment to providing unbiased, high-quality data analysis to help learners everywhere reach their fullest potential, the rankings site said.
AcademicInfluence.com further stated that it is a unique technology-driven rankings site dedicated to students, researchers, and inquirers from high school through college and beyond, offering resources that connect learners to leaders.
