There are perhaps fewer changes here than in the post-Kantian traditions from the 2021 PGR, but there are some. Here were the top two groups from 2021 (the numbers represeent mean,median, mode, and the "group" based on the rounded mean):
| Brown University | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| Princeton University | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| Stanford University | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| University of California, San Diego | 4 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 1 |
| University of Pittsburgh | 4 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| Cambridge University | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 2 |
| Oxford University | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 2 |
| University of California, Berkeley | 3.5 | 3.5 | 4 | 2 |
| University of California, Riverside | 3.5 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| University of Chicago | 3.5 | 3.5 | 4 | 2 |
| University of St. Andrews/Stirling Joint Program | 3.5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| University of Texas, Austin | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 2 |
| University of Toronto | 3.5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
Last time, the Group 1 programs (with tenured faculty in parentheses) were Brown (Paul Guyer), Princeton (Andrew Chignell, Desmond Hogan), Stanford University (Lanier Anderson, Michael Friedman), University of California, San Diego (Clinton Tolley, Eric Watkins), and University of Pittsburgh (Stephen Engstrom). Since then Guyer has officially retired, so Brown is no longer a top choice for Kant. Friedman at Stanford also turns 77 this year, so prospective students should bear that in mind. Johns Hopkins, in the interim, has added (full-time) Katharina Kraus from the University of Notre Dame, who joins half-time Kant specialist Lucy Allais, which will surely put Hopkins in Group 1 or 2 for Kant studies. At Chicago, Robert Pippin is no longer taking PhD students in philosophy, but the department has also added two junior Kant specialists since the 2021 PGR.
