Colonial Colleges
Die Colonial Colleges (etwa: Koloniale Kollegien) sind neun US-amerikanische Hochschulen, die während der Kolonialzeit, also vor der Unabhängigkeit der Vereinigten Staaten, gegründet wurden.
Sieben davon gehören heute zur Ivy League und sind allesamt private Universitäten (Brown University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University). Zwei der ursprünglich neun Colonial Colleges haben sich im Laufe der Jahre in öffentliche Universitäten verwandelt, und obwohl sie großes internationales Prestige besitzen, sind sie nicht Teil der Ivy League. Es sind das College of William & Mary und die Rutgers University.
Im Folgenden eine Übersicht zu den neun Colonial Colleges (nach Gründungsjahr, unter ihrem heutigen Namen):
- New College 1636 (Harvard University)
