6 Best Science Universities in New York

By our composite ranking, the top choices include Columbia University, CUNY Graduate School and University Center. The full ranked list above shows QS positions, tuition fees and entry requirements for each one.

Tuition varies widely by university and program, and international students usually pay more than domestic students. Every listing above shows the fee we hold for that program — labelled indicative where it has not yet been verified against the university's own published figures.

We use a transparent composite score combining QS World positions, each institution's star rating, academic breadth, internationalisation and student support — never paid placement. See our ranking methodology for the exact weights.

Filtering by New York keeps living costs, commuting and part-time work in one place — the results above are limited to institutions located there in United States.
