These threads always turn in to a shite show. Most SEC schools with the exception of Vandy are virtually the same. The degrees hold little weight outside of the immediate vicinity of the state, other than just being another degree. There are very few programs that are truly recognized nationally, despite what some ranking may say.
Missouri's journalism
Tennessee's Supply Chain
Georgia's Risk Management/Insurance
A&M's Petroleum Engineering
I say this having a Business Admin degree from Alabama that was cited a few pages ago as being really strong. I can assure you, nobody's blown away by that. It's just another degree from a state school, just like 95% of all the majors at the SEC schools

We've won numerous national spots #1 vs so called "Big" schools in competition how to design shite etc. What are you talking about?
We've won some competitions, yes, but U.S. News ranking of Engineering Schools:
#14 Texas A&M
#34 Florida
#34 Vanderbilt
#56 Auburn
#61 Tennessee
#99 LSU
#99 Alabama
#99 Arkansas
#99 Kentucky
#99 Missouri
#110 Mississippi State
#110 South Carolina
#125 Georgia
#162 Ole Miss
MSU people act like we are just behind MIT and Georgia Tech. We're well behind our SEC brethren and way behind peers like Kansas State, Virginia Tech and Washington State (all top 60). Academically, MSU is a shite show right now and no one wants to do anything about it.
Only two P5 schools have a worse overall academic ranking - West Virginia and Texas Tech.

those rankings are based on metrics that skew them out of our favor. There are plenty of MSU grads working at BA, LMT, and a couple at Nasa. Undergrads are all working from the same material across the country... A few that I met in the masters programs picked State over others because of professor to student ratios and funding per student and it may seem odd to others but they liked starkville. I also know someone that graduated undergrad at state and got masters at GT. You get what you put into it. Everyone I know that graduated from any part of the engineering program are doing well for themselves. Several have moved on from corporate america into private consulting or are entrepreneurs.

It's quite strong, just really not a high exposure discipline. Most people don't really think about Supply Chain/OM when they think about business degrees. They usually think Marketing or Accounting or Finance.

Auburn's pharmacy program is ranked 25th, veterinarian program 14th, engineering ranked 56th, industrial design 5th, landscape design 18th, 13th in forestry, and I know their building science program ranks up there. Overall, a lot of respected programs.

Us news puts us:
#2 Risk Management (my degree)
#5 Real Estate (my degree)
#12 Accounting
#22 Veterinary
I've seen UGA as the 14th best (couldn't find it on USNews) for communications and journalism (more about electrical media than print these days).
Personally, I think of the law school, mba program, and journalism/veterinary as the largest, most impactful branches of the college.

With all the more specialized plans I see being added, I will add mine.
Texas A&M - Industrial Distribution, #1
Now there are only ~15 programs nationwide, but it still counts.

UF is well rounded and is good in many fields...except fine arts. Music, performing arts, and the like are all underfunded and suck.

Ranked 3rd in the country right now behind Michigan State and MIT
That was my major, so they constantly reminded us how great the college was

UGA is the Harvard of the Deep South, so really everything.

Speaking of Tennessee, they have an element on the Periodic Table. One of the researchers is from Vandy, but the fact it’s called Tennessium is quite remarkable.

So the Arkansas program is very highly rated...there are only 7 SEC schools ranked above them.
