You must have missed the Forbes rankings...

Saw the Forbes ranking. Too bad the ranking is a joke...

I'm not saying the US News rankings is the be all and end all of rankings. It certainly has its problems. But most students and parents still refer to it for better or worse.

I'll know SMU is a top 25 caliber academic institution when it gains membership in this institution.

SMU is a liberal arts school not a research university, so it would be highly unlikely to be included in the AAU

by **dcpony** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:06 pm

Well, SMU certainly likes to compare itself or aspires to be like a lot of schools on this list:

And you're wrong on your assessment of SMU's status as a "liberal arts" school. While liberal arts may be an important part of SMU ( I'm a Dedman College grad) according to the Carnegie Foundation, SMU is classified as a Doctoral/Research University.

Let me rephrase that SMU is not a R-01 university when it comes to funding from the NIH all the other schools on that list are.
