Unfortunately their rankings are for purchase, not just listed out.

Akron is what it is, a degree mill, nothing more, nothing less, just face it and stop pretending its any good at anything. You sound like people from Ohio University, "Oh but Ohio is #1 in journalism", ya, people just feel bad for OU because its worthless in everything else. LOL

I got my ME from the airpit of Ohio and a guy I work with got his from Purdue and guess what we both make the same amount of money. Although his degree cost about 10 times the amount mine did. So really what did he gain by going there other than a shit load of student loan debt?

I/ve got another example, a friend of mine from high school who got his 2 year degree in plastics back in "2000" is now pulling in $100K a year, oh ya thats not counting his bonuses either.

If your worried about getting a degree from a preceived lesser school then get your PE.

I have many family members who went there for engineering, accounting, and teaching..all had jobs in place before they graduated. One is a CPA and owns their own business. Really though, I dont care what they are ranked, the only thing that matters to me is, on average, Akron graduates will make more money than OSU graduates coming right out of college.

Also..

"For UA, the rate of return is $5.14, based on annual tuition and fees of $8,382 and a starting salary of $43,102. The number crunching boosted UA to the top spot in Ohio, ahead of Ohio University (43rd), Bowling Green State University (46th), Ohio State University (51st) and Miami University (53rd)."

Also, I looked at the fisher college of business link..that poll was out of 136 people. Im sure that is real accurate

jmog;510734 wrote:Hey moron, you are talking to a guy who started at Ohio State, had a 4.0 and transfered to Akron U to be in the chemical polymer engineering program. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to polymer engineering and chemical engineering.


I started my chemical engineering degree at OSU and transfered to Akron U to do chemical polymer engineering.

However, like I said, I wouldn't expect you to know jack crap about engineering.

I would expect you to keep on being a prick about things you don't know about however.

If you look back, I also did say that OSU was a better engineering school in every discipline OTHER than any versions of polymer science and polymer engineering. So stop getting your panties in a bunch.
