According to the U.S. News and World Report rankings, the top ten collegiate humanities programs are at Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of California-Berkeley, Yale University, Princeton University, Stanford University, University of Chicago, University of California-Los Angeles, and Columbia University.
While each college or university in the top ten has program details and other school-wide amenities to distinguish them, they all excel in certain categories. Each college or university offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the humanities that are comprehensive and intensive. They also have superb academic facilities, such as libraries, for research and study. They are also likely to offer study-abroad programs with distinguished universities around the world.
One feature that these schools share that places them in the top ten is internationally-recognized faculty.

Widely-published and critically acclaimed novelists, philosophers, historians, filmmakers, artists, musicians, and linguists also comprise the faculties at these institutions.
