Say what you will about New Jersey, but the state’s Princeton University has made a name for itself by making the most Nobel laureates this century, a position its kept for the second year in the row. Times Higher Education has produced a list of the Top 10 schools for producing Nobel Prize Winners in 2017. Based on the number of winners affiliated with the institution at the time their award was granted, the score was also developed using the number of prizewinners for the category and the number of institutions affiliated with each award winner. And just to be clear, as much as we love humanities majors, literature and peace prizewinners were not included in the analysis.
