Post by University of California, Berkeley

You know together we're glowing. Gonna be, gonna be goldеn. ✨🐻 UC Berkeley is the #1 public university in the country, according to recent 2026 U.S. News & World Report rankings. This is the 16th time over the past two decades that Berkeley has claimed the top spot in the annual U.S. News Best Colleges rankings. Berkeley has consistently been one of the highest-ranked public schools nationally since the magazine’s rankings began in 1983. Berkeley is routinely recognized as the nation’s top public university, most recently in Forbes’ rankings of America’s Top Colleges and U.S. News’ Best Global Universities rankings. It also earned the distinction as the leading public university in North America in the QS World University Rankings 2026 and topped the PitchBook university rankings earlier this month for generating more startups founded by undergraduate alumni than any other university worldwide. #UCBerkeley #Rankings #USWNR
