<p>No, that would be the land-grant university for Texas. The flagship universities are the original and general state Us for each state, usually named “The University of _______ (state name)” with wide ranges of majors. After the flagships were founded, the government gave 19th-century land grants to states to develop practical, agricultural, technical schools to help develop the states’ infrastructures. Many of those schools have the phrase “State University” or “Tech” in their name - or in the case of Texas A&M, “Agricultural and Mechanical.”</p>

<p>gadad - Penn State is both…flagship University and a land grant university</p>
<p>If so then Clemson isn’t a flagship university? (because it’s mainly a tech school and isn’t the university of south Carolina?)</p>
<p>Same question applies for Indiana</p>
<p>One more to go
South Dakota</p>

<p>^This is a very broad generalization. As Grcxx3 points out, sometimes the state flagship university and the land grant university are one and the same institution – as with Penn State, Ohio State, the University of Connecticut and the University of Delaware, for example. Also, there are some states where the land grant university was actually established BEFORE it’s "University of ---------- counterpart – e.g. Kansas State University, the land grant institution, was founded in 1863, two years before the University of Kansas. I think it’s more accurate to say that while there are some states that have only one flagship public university, in many others the University of -------- and -------- State University have more or less coequal flagship status.</p>

<p>I am reminded that the majority (48/80) of Universities in the US ranked from 21-100 are public.</p>
<p>I again am impressed that California has 8 public Universities in the Top 100, and that Virginia has 3… quite impressive for its size.</p>
<p>It is also notable that 20 states have no presence in the Top 100. I hope they have reciprocity with neighboring states to get in-state tuition!</p>

<p>Georgia Tech is NOT the state flagship university for Georgia. Georgia only has one, and it is the University of Georgia.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Heh. Technically, Baylor University has a stronger claim than the University of Texas. Baylor was founded in 1836 by the Republic of Texas and has been in continuous operation since its founding. The University of Texas in Austin was not founded until 1883. That’s why, if you look at the school seal, Baylor has the seal of the Republic of Texas, something no other school could ever claim.</p>
<p>MBA Grad 2009 – so a Republic is now a State?</p>
<p>I am still scratching my head over Massachusetts not having a single University in the Top 100… go figure.</p>
<p>Oh, and I missed listing Idaho in post #51 from the list of states with no presence in the Top 100</p>
<p>

<p>Wrong. The land grant schools weren’t founded later in most cases, in fact both were founded at the same time. Oftentimes U of _____ has its roots in liberal arts emphasis, whereas ______ State University has its emphasis in math-heavy fields, such as science, engineering, architecture, agriculture, and so on. That doesn’t mean that U of ____ is flagship while _____ State University is not. Usually states will officially designate which are the flagship universities, and some will even divide their higher ed system up into separate systems. Texas has the UT system, where Austin is the flagship, and the A&M system, where College Station is the flagship. We all know however that the distinctions between land grant publics and the ones that started out with liberal arts emphasis have been blurred and in some states, _____ State is the premier public university, while in others U of _____ is the premier school. For example, in Michigan, California, Washington, and most states, U of ______ is the premier school. However the land grant schools are the premier universities in South Carolina (Clemson), Georgia (GT), Louisiana (LSU), Oklahoma (OSU), Indiana (Purdue), Pennsylvania (PSU), Wisconsin (UW), Ohio (OSU), and on and on… and EVEN New York, where Cornell is one of two private land grant universities.</p>
<p>Just having some fun, DunninLA.</p>
<p>Alabama has two top 100 schools, Auburn and Alabama</p>
<p>PeterSept.13–</p>
<p>Lots of States have 2 schools in the top 100:</p>
<p>Michigan
Ohio
Texas
Colorado
Georgia
North Carolina
Indiana
Alabama as you say.</p>
<p>New York along with already mentioned Virginia has 3.</p>
<p>Which makes it even more puzzling that Massachusetts doesn’t have a single member of that list.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>WRONG! :mad:</p>
