| ^^What I mean by "the level of work is the same" is that both Stanford and MIT offer a challenging course of study to students majoring in comparable courses: engineering or physics or English, for example.
This conclusion is based on the many individuals I know here in Silicon Valley who have graduated from either MIT or Stanford. I have also taught both MIT and Stanford graduates over the past ten years or so.
Because I'm currently teaching at Stanford, I'm familiar with some of the courses here, and because some of MIT's courseware is available online, I'm somewhat familiar with MIT's courseware.
Finally, anyone interested in comparing the level of difficulty in courses in the two programs has only to log on to the respective websites of the institutions to view the courses of study. |
