About this grouping
Tags describe a shared characteristic — funding model, academic emphasis, campus scale or cost level — and are assigned editorially from public institutional information. They are a navigation aid, not an assessment. A university appearing here is not ranked above or below any other, and institutions may carry several tags at once.
States represented: Massachusetts, New York.
