No Duke fan would feel the need to do this because they're relevant right now. I see ya, Tarheel.

Wow! Looks like Duke is at #29 and UNC is at #38.

The link to the entire list is below. I couldn't find UK, but I only scanned the first two hundred or so.

This is really interesting, though... UNC was ranked at 38? Meaning I can just send in for a top 40 degree with two box tops and 4.99 plus shipping and handling?

Except for AFAM of course, UNC is actually a good school academically.
Impossible to know , UNC themselves certainly don't know . Why they had rampant fraud for decades in AFAM , naval studies and some bogus class Boxill ran as a grade mill . It calls everything they have into question , other classes may not be a fraud but they may not be as prestigious as once thought either . If UNC has no clue about their academics then it can also be considered hype . They are a journalism school and created the biggest lie via propaganda to cover for sports cheating , seems to reason they would create a glorious but unwarranted persona for academics . Phoenix might be more rigorous once you peel back the facade .

Id rather be number 1 in basketball like we are and Duke isn't. I get really bored watching all those math tests being taken.

#268, not that I buy a lot of the subjective nonsense they determine this by.

I may write a letter to the originators of this ranking. The "Quality of Education" category is what really gets me hopping mad. UNC has a Quality ranking of 134 and UK's is 345. Are you telling me after all this crap about UNC's academics, UK is still over 200 slots behind UNC in the Quality category? That's an incredible slap in the face!

Looks like Louisville got a bump in the ratings from being in the ACC. No way they're ranked that high.

Its MSN- did anyone actually expect solid journalism here?

Lol

It's MSN reporting rankings done by and released by CWUR (Center for World University Rankings).

Did anyone actually expect you to read and understand it before making a judgment?

Lol indeed

Now, if you have an issue with CWUR's methodology, then that might be a legit criticism. But dismissing the rankings because MSN reported them (as did countless media sites around the world) shows how much your political stances distort your view.

willy, you and I are a rare breed these days. I bet most of those millennials are going for which schools have the best pokemon on campus.

Hey not all of us. I picked my school because it had the best looking women of all the ones I visited. And I'd do it again..

Have we decided on a range for Millennials, btw? Found this, but I feel like they are lumping generations together.



So really, those born in the 80's aren't too bad, especially in the early 80's. But in the 90's and beyond is when you get the generation that will probably partake in the destruction of humanity. The post-millennial doesn't look much better.

My experience with MSN allows me dismiss them.
