Furman University earned a spot in The Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges, ranking among the 511 colleges profiled in the publication.
The schools profiled are picked based primarily on surveys of administrators at nearly 600 colleges, and analyses of more than 25 survey data points. Furman earned a 2025 Green Rating of 91, on a scale of 60 to 99.
More than 60% of college-bound students surveyed for The Princeton Review College Hopes & Worries survey said having information about a college’s commitment to the environment would affect their decision to apply to or attend a school.
Furman’s feature in the Guide to Green Colleges comes less than a month after Furman was highlighted in this year’s U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” rankings. These rankings listed Furman as 45th overall among national liberal arts and sciences universities and 7th most innovative.
