I have found this information helpful. My S22 and D22 (twins!) have started looking at colleges, and UNCW was among them. It would be a safety school for them most likely. However, UNCW getting such a low rating academically by Fiske does make us consider taking it off our list. We need to narrow down the list anyway.
My S22 is interested in education and marine biology, and my D22 is interested in film studies. Since these are among the strong programs there, do you think that negates the overall low academic rating? Would UNCW’s education major program be comparable to the education programs at colleges such as Susquehanna Univ in PA, Goucher College in MD, and Longwood University in VA? For film studies, would UNCW be comparable to Wagner College in NY, Champlain College in VT, and Ramapo College in NJ? We live in VA btw.
