[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is ridiculous. How many people have heard of regional schools if they aren't from that region? You could make the same statement about almost any regional school.[/quote]

Most people know UVA, William & Mary and VT. I'm sure JMU is fine, but it's not well-known outside of the area.

VT is more like JMU to be honest. Agree on UVA and WM being a tier above JMU/VT...[/quote]

I still think VT outranks JMU in most respects. VT is roughly the equivalent of a non-elite flagship state school, and is very well-known nationally. People in the DC area don't see it as anything special, just like people from Jersey don't see Rutgers as good. UVA and W&M are definitely on another level, though.[/quote]

You can think what you want. JMUs business program is ranked higher than VT for example according to Businessweek. Both VT and JMU rank in the second tier overall (101-199) in the nation according to Forbes...not much difference but convince yourself otherwise if it makes you feel more validated.[/quote]

Not PP, but who gets a "business" undergraduate degree.
