List of American state universities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the United States, a state university or state college is one of the public colleges or universities in the state (or territorial) university system. There are no federally-run colleges or universities in the United States other than the United States military academies and military staff colleges. State universities usually offer lower tuition costs to in-state residents, as they are partially funded by state tax dollars.

Notes:

  • As a general rule, schools are not alphabetized by their complete names, but rather by the names by which they are normally called. For example, in a list alphabetized by normal rules, "Auburn University" would precede "University of Alabama", but the schools are virtually always referred to in popular conversation as "Auburn" and "Alabama" (followed by a campus identifier if required by the context). Therefore, in this article, "Alabama" precedes "Auburn".
  • The list also includes schools that grant first-professional doctorates only (e.g., medical schools, law schools, veterinary schools) that are independent of any other school in a state system.

Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PaSSHE)
The 14 universities in PaSSHE are state-owned. They are directly governed by gubernatorial appointees sitting on the PaSSHE Board of Governors. Each university also has an independent Council of Trustees appointed by the commonwealth's governor.


Commonwealth System of Higher Education
Universities of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education receive public funds and reduce tuition for PA residents. However, they are controlled independently of the state. Gubernatorial appointees are always a minority of their respective governing boards.
