25 Famous New Yorkers You Didn’t Know Graduated From Harvard University

Harvard University sits in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hundreds of miles from the streets of New York City and the towns and villages of New York State. Yet there is a remarkable New York story within its alumni history. Students who grew up in Brooklyn apartments, on Long Island, in the Bronx, beside the Hudson River, and in Upstate cities traveled to Harvard and later became presidents, scientists, writers, actors, judges, and business leaders. Some are so strongly identified with New York that their college years in Massachusetts are easy to overlook.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
