As I stated in the other thread, I don't get the distinction between "National Universities" and "Regional Universities."

Edgewood College in Madison is listed among "National Universities." So are maybe 30-40 other schools I've never even heard of. WEIRD!

Regardless, I think #75 is a respectable ranking. MU will never be GTown or ND in these rankings.

Does it give any explanation on the distinction between "regional" and "national"? That seems odd.

This is their definition:

"Regional Universities offer a full range of undergrad programs and some master's programs but few doctoral programs."

I seem to recall a ranking in the past where Nova was in the National Universities and was higher than MU.
