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

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.

I think some state flagships are known for their strong STEM majors, like Purdue and UMD, while others aren't, like UVA.

Purdue isn't even generally considered the state flagship. That is IU. I also don't agree UMD is recognized across the country in that way.

Well, UMD CS is probably on par if not higher ranked than Purdue for CS. Also, I think the latest forbes ranking has raised UMD profile nationally.

UMD is top 10 public research institution. Probably higher now since it just got another 300 million contract from the pentagon for cyber security

19th and that is by randomly connect two campuses 30 miles apart to get a higher research ranking.

Wisconsin and ?
This thread is about a state university that is NOT the flagship being stronger in STEM than the flagship school.

So if Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin at Madison) is the flagship, which Wisconsin school is stronger in STEM?

? OP asked "Well, can you help me identify some other states' comparable STEM flagship".. I took that to mean a state flagship that is known for strong STEM.

Well, can you help me identify some other states' comparable STEM flagship? For instance...

U Michigan/Michigan State U
UT Austin/Texas A&M
UNC Chapel Hill/NC State
U Georgia/Georgia Tech
Ohio State/?
Penn State/?
Rutgers/?
Others?

Flawed premise. The top talent in all STEM, which includes Chem, math, bio, commonly go to UVA if they want to stay in STATE, or William&Mary, for better fit if UVA is too big. VT does not win the brightest STEM kids in a head to head if they are also accepted to UVA . VT never gets top 10% kids from TJ or MW or any of the STEM magnet publics or any of the top 15 private schools in the state of Virginia, unless those students do not get in elsewhere. Many top engineering students choose UVA or VT, unless they get into somewhere better: our of state! Top 10% kids aiming for Engineering at these top high schools leave the state of Virginia in droves, and for anyone who qualifies for financial aid, they pay the same or LESS net price to go to ivies/Stanford/Duke/Northwestern than they do in state, so why would they stay? Full pay STEM/engineering geniuses leave Virginia for GTech, Berkeley, Michigan, or T10/ivies unless they do not get in to those.

Disagree. And I'm talking about the kids who stay. No one is saying VT is better than MIT.

VT might attract engineering majors but it’s not where top STEM talent goes in state. Both UVA and W&M attract stronger students interested in science and math.

Disagree. VT is stronger in engineering, cs, math, stats, and physics. That you even brought WM into the conversation discredits you.

Engineering yes, the others I’m not sure about. I’ve been interviewing kids for CS positions for years, and the UVA grads are almost always better than the VT grads we interview, and often it’s not even close. The UVA grads are much more impressive academically and have better foundational skills. They just seem smarter overall; not surprising given the disparity in entering gpa/scores.

What are some of the OOS publics that are cheaper than UVA/VT for VA residents? I would love to know, very curious.

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.
