<p>I know California is University of California, New Jersey is Rutgers, but I dont know the others.</p>
<p>google.</p>
<p>University of [state] will get you good results, and when that doesn’t work [state] State University will fill in most of the blanks. Rutgers is the only public flagship w/o the states name in it (unless you count the super long title)</p>
<p>The first of these two is a yahoo list–go into each state link individually and look for the “public” school. The second is a list by state. Just look at each state and its pretty easy to fined the state U system link.

<p>You do realize that there are multiple University of California campuses, right? UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, etc. California also has an extensive state university system.</p>
<p>Do you realize that some states have multiple state universities that are NOT in the same system? </p>
<p>Texas A&M is not part of the University of Texas system.</p>
<p>University of Illinois is not in the same system as Illinois State, etc.</p>
<p>There are lots more than 50 public universities.</p>
<p>Along that line, Michigan State U and U of Michigan are two different public universities.</p>

<p>There are a lot more than 50.</p>
<p>pfncp–
Look up at post # 3</p>
<p>There are definitely more than 50. It would be hard to put together a decent list by Googling, and Yahoo’s list is also incomplete. Vermont alone has six (UVM, Johnson State, Lyndon State, Castleton State, VT Technical College, and Community College of VT), and we’re not that big of a state.</p>

<p>The problem is that some are flagships and some aren’t. Flagships are far superior and much nicer than non flagships. Of course some flagships aren’t as good as others, either. UT-A and A&M is a good example someone else already pointed out. I don’t really know all of the flagships in the country, but I do know some for a few states…hope I can help out with a partial list. Some schools that sound like flagships but aren’t are really second-rate…like for instance in Arkansas there is U of A, and there is also Ark State which is not a flagship campus by any means…little better than a community college, while of course U of A is a pretty good school. Georgia has GT, UGA, but Georgia State is pretty second-rate.</p>

<p>Hope that helps. I left out about 8-10 states that I have no clue about, for instance, Cali and NY which are very complex. Basically all of the UC campuses are flagship quality, but none of the SUNY campuses are. NY’s good students mostly go private.</p>
<p>You left out William and Mary for VA.</p>
<p>If you’re going to include crap like Southern Miss, Marshall, MTSU, NMSU, ULL, TTU, you best be including Temple for PA.</p>
<p>California has 10 University of California campuses

<p>You left the state of Utah</p>
<p>The University of Utah </p>
<p>Utah State University</p>
<p>^ Not all UC or Cal State campuses are created equal. About half of the UC campuses trump most other state flagships, but the Cal State system is very second-rate in California. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I didn’t realize I left out William & Mary, thanks for bringing that up. And by all means include Temple…didn’t realize it was public, much to its credit. </p>
<p>As for some of the schools I included, I think they deserve explanation. In Mississippi, Southern Miss and Ole Miss are equally respected. They are about the same size. For some reason I don’t think Miss State is respected near as much as Ole Miss or Southern Miss. MTSU actually has the largest undergraduate enrollment in the state of Tennessee. </p>
<p>TTU isn’t one of the Texas Regents’ officially designated “Tier 1” schools (which is only UT and A&M) but they are considering adding one more to the “Tier 1” and everybody knows it will probably be Tech. You have to consider them with other states’ flagships because they are a part of the Big 12 where they’re competitive, they do have a law school and a medical school, and they have like 28,000 students.</p>
<p>I think NMSU is probably a better school than UNM but I don’t think anyone cares about either of them.</p>
<p>Maybe the OP wants land grant universities:</p>

<p>Bandmom, do you know where I can find a link to the high schools that traditionally go to each csu? The one they use for the “local admission guarantee”. I had it in the past and can’t find it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Shrinkrap, I’m only familiar with how San Diego State does it. They use the 56 Freeway as the dividing line, anything north of that is only guaranteed admittance to Cal State San Marcos. Of course, if an applicant has good stats, and applies early, they have a high probability of getting into SDSU no matter where they live.</p>
<p>The CSU’s are top notch when ranked with Regional Master’s Level Universities, which is what they were originally founded as. In the past couple of decades, some of the larger CSU’s (SDSU, SJSU, Long Beach State) began offering a select few PhD’s and EdD’s, sometimes in conjunction with nearby UC’s. This pulled those CSU’s into the National PhD ranking lists, which makes them look lower ranked relative to the more comprehensive universities. Other CSU schools such as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, that continue to be ranked at the Regional Masters level only, look better as a result. Remember that the UC Charter intends for these schools to be Doctoral granting research institutions, whereas the CSU Charter is focused on Masters Level and teaching excellence.</p>
