tier, however from what my father has told me (he's a professor at one
of the high-end mid-tier list), this probably isn't the case. My school
is pretty small and only has three programs that really matter (not
that there's only three programs, you can get a BA in English, it's
just that the English department is not really that impressive). He's
told me that papers I've been given Bs or B+s on would get me an A or
A+ where he teaches. He's actually surprised at how much I'm expected
to write. From what I hear from the students who went to other schools
in the area, the expectations here are a lot tougher. The professors
are also pretty well-respected in their various areas. One of the music
professors at the school is one of the few faculty members that only
has a master degree, he's a very well-respected conductor and thus the
school was willing to take him on despite not having a doctorate. One
of the philosophy professors here has a standing offer to teach at
Harvard, he just has to say "yes," and they will make room for him.
The point of this? This scale probably isn't the end all, be all.
That
being said, since I am consider a master degree once I get my BA, I
will keep this list on hand to help give me an idea of what schools I
should look at for my MA. |
