Where are the best Watchtower Universities in the world for Jehovah Witnesses?
I cannot seem to find them using Google. Can you tell me where the best ones are in the world? If there are too many to list just list the one's with advanced degree programs. Thanks

There is huge problem with your way of thinking. You show that you think a degree makes a person intelligent. You do not understand colleges or universities at all.
A degree says you have read a certain amount of books and passed tests on them. However, many of those books had nothing to do with subject matter of the degree, and that you passed tests given on those particular books.
Wow!!! Whoopie doo for you.
Jehovah's Witnesses spend their lives studying 1 book. The difference? The books in the colleges were written by men, and were inspired of monetary profit. The Bible was written by men inspired by God. Huge difference.
So, you can be the fool who follows the fool and get a college degree. OR you can learn wisdom from the Creator of all things.

Bar-Angry, as usual, obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. Gideons have given out more free Bibles than the JW's could even come close to. You know those Bibles in every hotel room and doctor's offices? The Gideons gave those out. No one is making money off of those.
Jehovah's Witnesses discourage education because critical thinking is an anathema to a cult. If anyone applies critical thinking to the Jehovah's Witnesses belief system it quickly wilts away.

ZERO just like the credentials of their corrupt leaders
Jehovah's Witnesses are truly unique among religions today.
1. They operate exactly ZERO charitable organizations
2. They operate soley as a corporate entity (legal dept runs everything)
3. Any love they show each other is fake and flimsy and will be turned off in a instant if you question
4. Allow their members to die because of wilfull misinterpretation of scripture concerning Blood transfusions
5. Hold the record for the largest Lawsuit award against them for child sex abuse (google it)
6. They hope and pray that God will soon kill 7.5 billion humans
7. Highest suicide and mental illness rate of religions
Yes a very special group

no where
but many religious groups do not emphasize higher secular/ religious education
others like Catholicism and M ainline Protestant groups do
JWs feel the urgent need to reach as many people as possible before death outside the Watchtower and they believe the End is near as many apocalyptic Biblicist groups do
and so they go door to door and the like
See JW.org

Bloodletting University has a great Blood Studies program. They inspire a lot of students to to go to Medical School to become Bloodless Surgeons.

They have no accredited universities that are national recognized in the USA. They offer some sort of training that aids JW to deliver their message more.

Greetings,
A better question is “Where did Christ ever direct his followers to run Universities in the world for Christians?!!
There is absolutely no direction in God’s Word for Christians to run universities, so Jehovah’s Witnesses follow God’s Word rather than try to make money by setting up universities and charities like the money hungry Catholics and other religions do.
The fact is that Jehovah’s Witnesses are engaged in the greatest Bible education work ever done in all human history (Mt.24:14; 28:18-20)!!
Unlike Catholics, the Witnesses distribute bibles and bible based literature worldwide free of charge. As a rule, other religions' publishing houses are profit making operations and most actually give very little to those in need.
Look at the prices the so-called "Christian" publishing houses charge for their bibles! Even the few that are "non-profit" pay their executives enormous salaries!
Witnesses do “God’s will” rather than imitate the “workers of lawlessness” who “perform powerful works.” Christ will tell them: “I never knew you. Go away; the things you did were unauthorized” (Mt 7:21-23).
The "Great Commission" by Christ was NOT: "Go give to the poor..." or "Go build hospitals... universities..." He said "Go and make disciples...teaching them" (Mt 24:14; 28:19, 20).
While the Catholics kept people illiterate to hide their false teachings, Witnesses teach them how to read God’s Word themselves. Like Jesus, JWs make the work of teaching the Bible's message their top priority (Mt 5:14-16; 24:14; 28:19, 20; Mk 1:14).
The evidence is that ONLY Jehovah's Witnesses, as an organization really help others without monetary gain!
Yours,
BAR-ANERGES

You won't find any. They don't encourage higher education.
Edit:
Apparently instead of educating people, or teaching people, or feeding the hungry, or caring for the sick, or clothing the naked, their money - received by Witnesses that work hard for it - is better used to....sponsor game shows. It lists JW.org as a sponsor at about :45 seconds into the video.

I love Bar's answer!
"A better question is “Where did Jesus Christ ever direct his followers to run Universities in the world for Christians?!!"
Shows with your comment to him that you have no answer. Oh! Ask your Saint Augustine and the man that started Trinitarianism, your Saint Constantine.

They are uneducated idiots
Leaders keep them in the dark to control the members
