[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Rutgers is perfectly fine

Not sure what the deal is with SUNY and why it has lost so much ground. 30 years ago, Binghamton was very well thought of.

In the weird bubble we were in (dance programs), the nj and ny publics are some of the most sought after programs in the country. Montclair in nj and suny-purchase are top dogs, with Rutgers and Buffalo not far behind.[/quote]

SUNY hadn’t lost ground as much as others have risen up. Buffalo was to become the flagship when it was taken over in the 60’s but downstate politics always hindered funding which meant that there are now two very good but not elite large schools and one very good but not elite mid-large school.

They are model tinkering with SUNY Oswego so we will see what the future holds with the demographics changing over the next couple of decades.[/quote]

What is the plan for SUNY Oswego?[/quote]

Not entirely sure but they reclassified it as a University and have been slowly adding engineering programs as well as more grad programs. The engineering programs are ABET so they are doing it right. Only speculation but they might be thinking of evolving to a more regional approach down the road with fewer 'colleges' as the demographics change.[/quote]

Interesting. Thank you.
