[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where would Michigan honors stand with respect to Northwestern?[/quote]

Michigan historically is a trade school. Its academics such as history, math, or stem do not compete favorably with Wisconsin or Northwestern when considering cumulative historical prestige. Too much obsession with trade schools like business in this sub.[/quote]

lol wtf?!

Michigan:

History: 2
Political science: 4

engineering: 9

biostats: 4
 chemistry: 14
comp sci: 10
economics: 12
Physics: 13

math: 12

Fluke rankings brought in through lateral hires from Wisconsin. If Wisconsin leaves the UW system, it can hire its faculty back and end Michigan’s temporary superiority in actual academic subjects. But you still didn’t refute the fact that Wisconsin is a more historically prestigious university. [/quote]

DP. But historically when? Definitely not any time in the 21st century.[/quote]
From 1890 to 1990[/quote]

One of the best evidence for this is that Wisconsin and Michigan are both among the top 5 institutions for granting tenure track PHDs. Given that Michigan has always had the better trade schools of law and business, presuming at least some of those go into academia and Wisconsin’s can’t, then academia must be [b]disproportionately[/b] hiring Wisconsin PHDs from all other disciplines for Mich and Wisc to both make the list.

Also, Wisc has the most Fortune 500 ceos, despite only having a good undergraduate business program. UW was so historically prestigious in fields like humanities, Econ, or engineering, that these ceos got their first jobs in national corporations.[/quote]
