[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131785642, member: 1428007"] You are claiming this represents "WVUs academics". That is just some magazines personal declaration mostly derived from questionable data to declare a number system based on their own criteria--has nothing to do with how well WVU educates anyone or the status of their actual academic programs. Here is some REAL academic information re: WVU [HEADING=2]Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education[/HEADING] WVU classification [B]R1[/B]--same as BC, Clemson, Duke, FSU, GT, NC State, Syracuse, Louisville, Miami, UNC, Pitt, UVA, VT There are also numerous other other accolades for WVU academics such as the number of Rhodes scholars and top ten programs. from the WVU site for example [URL]https://www.wvu.edu/about-wvu/achievements[/URL]: WVU recipients of prestigious scholarships include 25 Rhodes Scholars, 25 Truman Scholars, 46 Goldwater Scholars, 3 George C. Marshall (British) Scholars, 6 Morris K. Udall Scholars, 5 USA Today All-USA College Academic First Team Members (and 11 academic team honorees), 28 Boren Scholars, 75 Gilman Scholars, 70 Fulbright Scholars, 3 Department of Homeland Security Scholars, 36 Critical Language Scholars, one Schwarzman Scholar, one Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholar, and 27 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships. U.S. News is like People magazine or something--they have no certification for identifying anyones actual academics and their methodology has been debunked many times over. [/QUOTE]
