It is intended to be a breakdown of the academic ratings found in the Fiske Guide To Colleges 2020 that was prompted by another poster’s comment that if the school was included in the Fiske Guide, then it must be among the top 324 colleges & universities. This is not true as Fiske includes many schools beyond the top 200 for various reasons including geographical diversity & to ensure a mix of public & private schools.
Otherwise, it is to point out the strong programs at the schools which received a poor academic rating.
Hopefully, some will find this thread to be informative & useful; if not, then there are many other threads on CC for readers to enjoy.
P.S. Before writing this thread, I did not know that one could major in “Tropical Agriculture” at the Univ. of Hawaii or anywhere.
