Default What is your school \"known for\"?

Either just locally or nationally. I asked arod in his UNT thread becuase I am always curious for some reason what different universities are known for having prestige in.

Illinois State University is apparently nationally known for its education field. Certainly it seems to be respected within the field anyway. This makes sense as Illinois State was a "normal school" when it originated, ie., a college specifically for educating future teachers.

In addition I guess we are pretty well known for nursing students. I don't know too much about this aspect but I'm guessing it is much more of an "in state" prestige.


So indulge me and enlighten others, what is your college "famous for" in terms of prestige in specific academics?

After talking to people who go to school just up the road:

Suicide. We are still number 1.

So much for THAT ad campaign...

Lots of things. At the undergrad level, the most world-renowned is likely theatre. Graduate level, business or education.

I feel I should add, to make sure that you include what school you're from. Since I have no idea what the first 2 people are referencing.

I think I figured out Dan's college [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Waterloo: Computer Science, Computer/Electrical/Software Eng, Quantum Computing and the co-op program would be the big ones I guess.
