Academic standards between USM and Mstate

[RounderReb]

Ole Miss, MSU, and USM have the same academic standards regarding admission for all HIGH SCHOOL entrants. JUCO is where it is different. I don't know the exact specifics, but I do know that Orgeron used to lose JUCO recruits for this reason every year he was at Ole Miss. I think the problems usually arose over math or science credits.

I don't know if that is what happened with Bolden or not, but JUCO admission standards are different for the SEC than most other conferences.</p>

Southern Miss is able to accept partial qualifiers. If I am not mistaken DeAndre Brown was a partial qualifier and that is why all the SEC schools backed off and he was able to enroll at USM. Not 100% sure but there are some diffrences.

the problem is that many of these USM students think they are going to be real engineers and architects until they get in the job market and find that is not the case..

I don't know if they are purposefully misleading these students or if the students want to be mislead. Either way, something not right is going on there.

The business schools do not compare either. To me, it seemed like USM had lower quality students and the material had been dumbed down to meet their level.

There is no such thing as partial qualifiers anymore. Hasn't been for a few years now. DeAndre was a full qualifier.

I have my undergraduate degree in business from USM and my MBA from MSU. To me, I learned more and thought USM's business school was tougher than MSU's business graduate school. To say USM has lower quality students/degree's shows ignorance and just simply isn't the case. <span class="user-name">msusm is right, it just depends on what degree you are wanting. If I wanted an engineering degree, I'd go to MSU. If I want an Polymer Science degree, then USM is the best place for that.</span> Personally, I wish I had gotten my MBA from USM as I feel like I'd probably learned more, but degree's from different schools looks better on a resume.
