While UA Huntsville is in an impressive large research park that Alabamians are right to be proud of, UCF was originally founded to provide engineers/scientists to Cape Canaveral, and keeps strong links with the Kennedy space center in addition to the companies you find at Huntsville (UAH does have links to Airbus that UCF doesn’t have, and UCF has links to Disney that UAH doesn’t have). So, I think it’s a wash in that regard.
Burnett Honors >UA Honors > UAH Honors though. (You can check out the book or website “Public Honors” to learn more. )
UA>UCF>UAH
I’m actually quite impressed with how quickly UAH has risen and on the other hand UCF is having growth pains, but UCF is still quite a bit stronger overall and most especially stronger in terms of Honors College offerings and peers in that college.
