User:Sdkb/List of colleges and universities by number of alumni with Wikipedia pages

(Redirected from User:Sdkb/Alumni)


Some colleges graduate many times more notable alumni than others.

This is a list of selected institutions of higher education, along with counts of their alumni with Wikipedia pages. The last column adjusts the counts by size and founding date, producing the number of alumni with pages per thousand alumni.

If you'd like to see a particular college rise in the ranking, go write some articles!


red-outlined triangle containing exclamation point Bad assumptions:

  • The present size of an institution is the size it's always been (the total alumni count is estimated using age×student body size/4)
  • All alumni of an institution are categorized
  • All notable alumni of an institution have a page, and all alumni with a page are notable
  • Alumni categories have no diffused subcategories
