SDS Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 This speaks more to graduate schools I suppose, but this list really tells you who is driving the academic research in this country: https://www.aau.edu/who-we-are/our-members It may be less applicable to undergraduates.
John from Riverside Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I am a advisor at a Southern California University (I work with PhD students) As with all schools it is more about the quality of the teacher's/major professor's so it really depends on the major. A small program can have world known faculty.....which draws in the quality students

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Depends on the public U, which can be a "public Ivy" like Berkeley, Michigan, UNC, Binghamton etc. or a much lesser commodity such as Alabama, Montana, Iowa State or one of the mining schools. Heavily factored into the equation is the quality of the faculty and student body. The public Ivys have top quality faculty and A grade students by and large.

A small program can have world known faculty.....which draws in the quality students I auditioned, and was accepted, at Curtis, Julliard, and Eastman - never would have imagined that Cornell’s music faculty was among the finest in the world. Studied theory and composition with 2 Pulitzer Prize winners (Karel Husa, Steven Stucky), music history w/Donald Grout and Don Randel, performance with Malcom Bilson. On top of all that, got to take Astro 101 with Carl Sagan, history w/L. Pierce Williams and Walter LaFeber, a boatload of other sh*t with great profs, plus experienced one of the most beautiful campuses anywhere. Never would have happened at a music conservatory. Ezra Cornell stated, “I would found an institution where any person could find instruction in any study” - he certainly kept that promise. Now, I’d like to go back to study Enology and Viticulture - maybe mead would join me?? . 1

My friend told me that he was able to take a Sagan course (don't remember the title anymore) and Sagan did perhaps five lectures total and office hours were few and far between. Trying to remember who taught Intro American History to 1865 while I was there during the 1980's.
