re: how would you rate the louisiana colleges?

While I don't think LSU belongs #1 on this list, I don't think Tulane does either. Paying an assload of money for college doesn't automatically make it academically better than other schools in the state.

How is UNO ahead of Southeastern?

Can't link from my phone today for some reason, but ULM Nursing program got a big top 10 recognition a few months ago. LINK

ETA: nevermind, I guess it does link

NWST rates higher than ULL and ULM in nursing...

Troll much?

it pays the bills... And I had a job before I graduated.

I think you may not entirely understand the profession

Nicholls should be up at the top for nursing and culinary. If culinary counts at all

I agree it shouldn't require a bachelor, which it currently does not (associate or diploma at minimum). It may certainly be a requirement some day though.


I actually went to the worst undergraduate program in the state (as far as nclex pass rate)
I also agree that ranking doesn't matter, but since the thread kinda directs one to discuss rankings....

If you are going overall Undergraduate and Graduate level It would be:
1. Tulane
2. LSU

For Engineering and stuff I'm sure its LSU first

For everyone bitching about private school tuition, the title doesn't say "rate colleges by best value"
