I forgot about this one - yes, this is another one

I have also heard Cincy has a good aerospace engineering, I think?

Yes, and computer engineering.

Many of the schools that are top notch for Musical Theatre are not highly ranked overall: Baldwin-Wallace, Shenandoah, Rider,…Carnegie Mellon is the big exception.

There are MANY industrial uses of ceramics.
I worked in manufacturing for a company that made spark plugs. Alfred Ceramics graduates were highly sought after and enables the organization to streamline production.

I know you thought you were being funny (probably could not get into Emerson) but there is a lot to this.

BYU - #3 accounting program in the nation

St. Joseph's University in Philly - #8 for analytics and #7 for insurance

University of Utah - #5 for entrepreneurship

Georgia State - #4 for insurance and #9 for Information Systems,

What is your source for all these rankings?

Also Cal Poly SLO for Wine & Viticulture

Cal poly and UC Davis - neither are "low ranked" schools you need to catch up.

Not anymore but the parents of current students remember them as the safety UC for B- students and a hippie party school SLO.

St. Joe’s also has a top food marketing program. I had no idea analytics was ranked so highly - maybe this is why my kid got a fantastic internship.

Is that common?

Why wouldn’t you name names? What is the program you’re talking about??
