[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I view it as reach. It is only known within the region where it exists. JMU, CNU, GMU in Virginia would be regional schools. They're known within a geographic sphere, not not particularly nationally. If you went to Los Angeles and said you have a degree from James Madison U., the person would think "where?" and they wouldn't know where it was. This doesn't mean the school is bad, it just means it doesn't have a national or global name. But if you said "I went to the University of Virginia or Virginia Tech," the person in LA would think "Oh, I've heard of those."[/quote] So schools like Middle Tennessee State University and Alabama State University are considered as having a "national or global name" and reach because they're classified as national (versus regional) universities by USNWR? Uh, I don't think so. [/quote]
