<p>IMO most, nearly all, of the academically elite schools are NCAA Division I or NCAA Division III. </p>
<p>Can anyone mention a top 50 ranked (USNWR) university/college that is NCAA Division II?</p>
<p>Are there any NAIA schools in the top 50 liberal arts colleges or top 50 national universities? </p>
<p>The OP may want to know this for college planning.</p>
