Once again, The Princeton Review has included the University of Minnesota Morris in the latest edition of its Guide to Green Colleges, 2026 edition. UMN Morris earned a Green Rating score of 93/99.
The Guide, which is accessible for free at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide, profiles 388 colleges that foster a culture of environmental responsibility and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.
The Princeton Review chose the colleges based on a survey that the company conducted in 2024–25 of administrators at 401 colleges about their institutions' sustainability-related policies, practices, and programs. The company also surveyed students attending those colleges about their "green" campus experiences. The school selections were based on more than 25 data points from the surveys.
The profiles provide detail on the schools’ uses of renewable energy, their recycling and conservation programs, and the availability of environmental studies in their academic offerings. The profiles also include information on the school’s admission requirements, cost, and financial aid.
The Princeton Review emphasizes that prospective students are increasingly considering colleges' environmental commitments as part of their decision-making process. A significant survey revealed that 59% of students would factor a college's sustainability efforts into their application choices.
