This might be a bit of an unusual question but I'm genuinely curious. Can anyone tell me which state has the highest number of colleges and universities? I guess you could call it a trivia item I'd like to know!
Here's the trivia info you're looking for: the state with the most colleges and universities in the United States is California. This isn't that surprising given the size and population of California. Across public, private nonprofit, and private for-profit two-year and four-year institutions, California leads. Remember that those numbers include both four-year colleges and universities, as well as two-year colleges, and satellite campuses for universities that are based in other states.
