More on Princeton University
Description from Wikipedia:
Princeton University is a private university located in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. The school is one of the eight universities of the Ivy League and has the largest per-student financial endowment in the world.
Founded in 1746 at Elizabeth, New Jersey, as the College of New Jersey, it was moved to Princeton in 1756 and renamed "Princeton University" in 1896. (The present-day College of New Jersey in nearby Trenton, New Jersey is a totally separate institution.)
Princeton was the fourth institution of higher education in the U.S. to conduct classes. The university, unlike most American universities that were founded at the same time, did not have an official religious affiliation. At one time, it had close ties to the Presbyterian Church, but today it is nonsectarian and makes no religious demands of its students. The university has ties with the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the Westminster Choir College of Rider University.
Though Princeton University has traditionally focused on undergraduate education, it has almost 2,500 graduate students enrolled, and its Carnegie classification is "research university." Princeton is a liberal arts university and does not offer professional schools generally, but it does offer professional master's degrees (mostly through the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs) and doctoral programs in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences, as well as engineering. In addition to the research conducted on the main campus, the Forrestal Campus has special facilities for the study of plasma physics and meteorology.
