Number 1 – Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, California, USA)
Harvey Mudd College takes the crown as the most expensive college in the United States, with staggering annual costs. For the current academic year, the total cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room & board) was a whopping $87,776! This tiny liberal arts college in Claremont, California focuses on STEM fields.
Part of the Claremont Colleges consortium, Harvey Mudd is often ranked as one of the best schools for engineering and ranks near the top for graduates’ earning potential. But such prestige comes at a premium price.
With less than 900 students, the school can afford small class sizes and top-notch facilities funded by a $1 billion+ endowment. An education here is as exclusive as it is expensive.
