Thanks for actually answering the question. There are so many people on this board who are insecure, elitist, prestige slaves.[/quote]

But the original premise isn't correct.  There are not designated STEM Flagships.  Many states do not have designated flagships period.  It is just assumed that the one with University of <insert state> or the oldest is the flagship.  There is a concept of the land grant university in the state, but the flagship may also be a land grant.

To say there is a STEM flagship suggests that the other colleges aren't doing STEM or at least not to the same level.  That isn't a correct general statement.[/quote]
I think some state flagships are known for their strong STEM majors, like Purdue and UMD, while others aren't, like UVA.[/quote]

The person above was correct that the premise is incorrect and there is really no such thing as 1) Flagship, 2) STEM flagship, or I'd add 3) a school necessarily being "better" in all of these areas. Nonetheless, most people would consider Indiana University to be the "flagship" of Indiana, not Purdue.[/quote]

There's no such thing as flagship, but IU is Indiana's flagship. Gotcha.  Newsflash...all of you readers out there are so stupid for thinking UVA is Virginia's flagship. You're imagining things. There is no such thing as a flagship. Just ask the PP who knows all of the flagships even though there is no such thing as a flagship.[/quote]
