Public Ivies according to Greene’s Guides
Following Richard Moll’s 1985 book Public Ivies: A Guide to America’s best public undergraduate colleges and universities, Howard and Matthew Greene of Greene’s Guides in their 2001 book The Public Ivies: America’s Flagship Public Universities expanded upon Moll’s list of Public Ivies to include 30 colleges and universities.
