A degree is only worth what you make of it. People get too caught up in these rankings.

Do you think a civil engineering degree from Alabama gets more notoriety than one from Mississippi State? I have a BS and MS in Civil from Alabama. But I readily admit that Miss State is the more well known engineering school. These rankings don’t change that.

it's not like the laws of physics, calculus, or differential equations changed from one institution or the next

at the end of the day it is what you know and what skills you have, not really where you went to get those skills. To some degree there may be a correlation there, but for the most part that relationship is dramatically overstated.
