[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 280699, member: 198"] Sigh. Virginia Tech is a university, without doubt. They call themselves VT or Virginia Tech, but their full name is [I][B]Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University[/B][/I], which is why some people call them Vippie Sue. You are the only person I've ever seen clasify "university" based on BA versus BS degrees for undergranduates. There is no such distinction. To be classified as a university, there are 3 requirements: 1) multiple undergraduate programs; 2) these programs separated into different colleges; and 3) post-graduate degrees in multiple programs. Since we are also a major research organization (~$300MM/year), we are designated as a research university. It's not a bad word. It doesn't lessen Tech to be identified as a university. Yes, we are also an institute of higher education, a technical institute and many other things. But to apply your narrow definition of what a university and expect the rest of higher education to follow suit isn't realistic. MIT: The Institute is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed [B]university[/B], organized into five Schools (architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science). Cal Tech: The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is a private doctorate-granting [B]university[/B] located in Pasadena, California, United States. [/QUOTE]
