[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is USNWR's explanation:

"Regional Universities: Like the National Universities, Regional Universities – defined by the Carnegie classification as Master's Colleges and Universities (larger programs), Master's Colleges and Universities (medium programs), and Master's Colleges and Universities (smaller programs) – provide a range of undergraduate programs and some master's-level programs. They offer few, if any, doctoral programs.

The 604 total Regional Universities (239 public, 350 private and 15 for-profit) are ranked within four geographic areas: North, South, Midwest and West."

OK, the masters thing sort of makes sense, but there is no way that RISD or Berklee offers a range of programs.  Both schools offer a handful of very specific degrees in related areas.  That’s very different from other schools on the list. Which is their strength, and why they aren’t really regional.

those types of specialized schools don't fit anywhere because they don't fit the definitions they used. so i kinda agree with you op but so what? [/quote]
