What do you mean by America?
If you mean the USA, then Harvard is the oldest (1636) and The College of William and Mary is the second oldest (1693).
If you mean "America" -- then the oldest is in the Dominican Republic:
Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo, 1538
The second oldest is in Argentina:
Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 1610
If you mean North America, then you have to go to Mexico:
National Autonomous University of Mexico, 1551
The oldest Canadian university is:
Université Laval, 1663
I've included a link below. The footnote for William and Mary explains why some people claim that it is the oldest university in the US -- an why they are wrong.
