Best Public Schools rankings are out.......
quote:
LSU is the only SEC school not ranked in the Top 100



I take zero value in a poll possible made off of very little research.

A recent poll came out showing that LSU grads were ranked #4 in the SEC as highest income earners only behind Vandy, UF annd aTm after 10 years of graduation so that’s all that matters anyway!

Exactly. Not exactly WTF it is they see, but
I've seen other website rankings where LSU mid-career earnings compare favorably to public schools nationally, much less just the SEC. Also 'Best Value' universities for the money as well.
Not sure where they are getting these rankings or assumptions but:
*LSU has one of the top college publishing houses in the nation - LSU Press
*LSU is ranked by the Carnegie Institute as one of the Top 30 research universities in the nation
*LSU has one of the top medical research facilities in the world - Pennington Biomedical Research Institute
*LSU has one of the top academic centers for student-athletes - Cox Center - described as a prototype by NY Times and WSJ
*LSU has a new state-of-the-art billion-dollar Medical Center in downtown New Orleans.
*LSU has one of the top schools of Veterinary Medicine on the planet.
*LSU has highly ranked curricula and programs in: Coastal Research Studies, Mass Communications, Hurricane Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Music & Dramatic Arts, Law, Design, Agribusiness, Computer Engineering, Organizational Management, Entrepreneurial Communications, and many others.
