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

Discovered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory...which is operated by a partnership between UT and Battelle Labs




Fun fact...while Dr. Hamilton is on faculty at Vanderbilt...he got his B.S. from Mississippi College

I think AUs Building Science program was ranked #1. I read they have a 98% placement for Grads.

And let’s not forget about TAMU being #1 in Poultry Science! And a top 5 overall Ag College.

You can think about us when you eat supper tonight.

Not sure about most know but Bama's best programs are:

Public Relations (#1 ranked program in the country one year and Top 5 most years)

Accounting (Top 25 program)

Law (Top 30 program)

Business program and Mass Communications program are very solid in general. Pretty mediocre in everything else

Plus our Aerospace Engineering department is a dumpster fire right now.


I haven't heard this, but August Raspet was one of the leading pioneers in the field and put MSU Aerospace on the map way back in the 1950's.

Mississippi State University rocketry team, recently won the 2015 Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition in Green River, Utah. The competition involved more than 70 universities from seven countries.

This is why Nasa is always calling on Msu.

Once had a really strong program. Lots going on right now. MSU put out a "Everything's okay" statement this week with the fire in the background.

MSU also recently lost Tier 1 research status. The biggest problem that MSU has is Starkville schools. Almost impossible to recruit top faculty when the schools are so bad. Its why MSU just committed to building a new K-12 school on campus. We have to fix that problem quickly. We're losing potential faculty across the board because they don't want to put their kids in the schools.

Private school is a option, but many in academia abhor private schools.

Most definitely the College of Pharmacy for UK. Has been among the best for many years now and practically invented the clinical pharmacist field we see in hospitals today. I graduated from there in 2015 and in what were some of the most stressful years of my life. UK’s College of Pharmacy building is also the largest pharmacy education building in the world and was only recently opened back in 2010.

Visit the Rant and it will become obvious that Drama has to be most of the majors of choice.

What would be our most prestigious? Perhaps Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce? Might also be most random.

Guessing correctly. Ironically, the family business was distribution.
