Colleges and Universities Map

We pulled together data compiling every post-secondary educational facility in the United States into one handy map. The map includes doctoral/research universities, masters colleges, baccalaureate schools, associates colleges, theological seminaries, medical schools, schools of engineering and technology, business and management, art, music, design, law schools, teachers colleges, tribal colleges, and other specialized institutions.

The map can be filtered to show one specific type of college: four-year, community, or trade schools. Students can interact with the map, zooming in on areas of interest to learn about the colleges in each location.

Our map features data including: enrollment data, housing information, contact information, exact location, and more. It also includes links to source data, so students can read more on the schools they’re most interested in.

A universities map is an invaluable tool for anyone exploring higher education options in the U.S. By using an interactive map, students can make informed decisions based on their academic and financial needs, helping them find the best institution to match their goals. Whether planning for an undergraduate or graduate degree, leveraging this resource can simplify the selection process and provide clarity on available opportunities.
