4. Stanford University
Score: 8
At number four on our list of fastest growing private universities in the US, we have one of the most famous Universities in the world – Stanford. Established back in 1891, Stanford has become one of the most prestigious universities across the globe.
With over 21 Nobel Prize laureates listing Stanford on their resumes, hundreds of members of the America Academy of Arts and Sciences, and dozens of fellows of the America Physics Society, it’s no wonder Stanford ranks so high.
Students can learn about anything from aeronautics, to biology, from business to music, from philosophy to engineering, from genetics to history, and so on.
Stanford’s endowment was calculated at $22,39 billion, slightly higher than the previous year by 0.8 percent. Over $16,300 currently study here, both in as undergrad and postgrad.
