Jefferson Ranking

[big5explorer]

Does anyone have any insight or idea how Jefferson is even showing up in these rankings?!? Is it just the name change??

When I was at La Salle in the ‘90s, Textile was not even close to the same quality of school as La Salle.

It drives me bananas that La Salle, with their history of producing doctors, business leaders, and Comm grads, among others, fails to show up well on these lists.

It was a good merger. Jefferson had the undergrad medical based schools (nursing, rehab, imaging, etc.). Textile/Philly U had their specialties (architecture, design, etc). Put them together and there you have it basically.

Hmm…maybe La Salle, with our outstanding science and Pre-med success could buy a hospital and do the same….
