Says Inside Honors. |
What is "Inside Honors". I think that is about as reputable as "Obsessive Bucknell DCUM poster" |
Inside Honors is the original and most comprehensive ranking of public honors colleges. |
Sounds about as useful as USN&WR. |
so, pretty useful |
John Willingham, who authored the Inside Honors books, is a reliable source. He hasn't published an updated version since 2020, but at that time, he gave UofSC a five-star rating, his highest. He also gave half a dozen other schools the same rating: https://publicuniversityhonors.com/new-top-programs-by-category/ It's his work that UofSC mischaracterizes in its "South Carolina Honors College is the nation's best" press release, which was linked to earlier in this chain. |
Willingham rated honors colleges, he didn't rank them--he was outspoken about "ranking" being a stupid exercise. |
Great, so SC’s claim as nation’s best is legitimate per Willingham. There isn’t a higher rating they could have received. |
