UC Berkeley has been named the top public university in the U.S., and No. 7 globally in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Global Universities rankings.

The rankings also assess a university’s strength in various subject areas. This year, Berkeley was named in the top five globally in a number of subjects, including physics (No. 3), biology and biochemistry (No. 4), economics and business (No. 4), environment/ecology (No. 4), and space science (No. 5).

The best global university list is distinct from the U.S. News & World Report ranking of the best American colleges and universities, which is calculated using different metrics and released each September. Berkeley also claimed the top public institution slot on the latter list in 2025.
