Parks and Recreations/Southern Studies Master Programs
You know, we're the only school in the nation with a Southern Studies master's program. It's actually done a lot for the university (ever wonder why the Southern Foodways Alliance or the National Conference on The Book are held in Oxford?)

well since this list has *private* schools in it as well---it might possibly explain the drop in said *public* schools---

What's the criteria that goes in to these rankings?
I heard that it was from the students rating their professors or something like that. Check the OT. They have a similar thread.

This is what some people aren't considering for some reason.

I can honestly say, NO, I've never wondered about that.

I really hate pre-season polls.
This will change by the time College Quiz Bowl season comes around...then we'll see where we sit.

Yeah, I'm not trying to get in a pissing match, because after the top 3 it's a big drop off, but I can't remember any other ranking of academics where Auburn was outside the top 5 or 6.

I understand that but if we are 33rd out of public institutions and now this list has us at 400+ we would have to assume that there are 350+ private schools. Lulz.

There are 1,600 private, nonprofit institutions nationwide. Half of the nonprofit colleges and universities in the United States are private. We enroll 3.4 million students.

I didn't realize there are that many private schools but this list shows MSU and OM in front of Auburn. That is pretty funny.

Makes me think they take cost into account as well.

I think his point was that if AU is top 4/5 in every other poll/list, than it's unusual to be listed so far down. I agree, seeing that both ole miss and miss st is a tier 2 or 3 school. AU/UT/UK should be way above you guys.
ETA: top 4/5 in the SEC

well---i think you are proving forbes rankings as legitimate in regards to the ranking of auburn so low in this list---
Posted on 8/12/10 at 4:28 pm to RightKindaGuy
Cornell is 196 on that list. That was the first thing that I noticed and UT-Austin isn't even 150. The list is a joke.
