Universities in North America

A higher education institution located in the United States or Canada, gathered under the UN geoscheme's Northern America region rather than the geographic continent of North America. This group spans the atlas's land-grant flagship state universities, private research universities and specialized institutes across both countries. It is kept separate from Latin America and the Caribbean, the geoscheme's own region for Mexico and everything south of it, following the UN's own boundary between Northern America and Latin America rather than a plain continental line, so a reader relying on this atlas's regional groups sees the same division geographers and international statistics agencies use.
