Penn State is one of the most respected research univeristies in the nation.  There are plenty of research opportunities available in your desired field.  Penn State has the largest alumni network in the world.  Alum are lcated all over the globe, so finding jobs through networking should be relatively easier that @ UVA.  PSU has brilliant scholars as faculty and campus life is amazing.  There are plenty of bars, shops and restaurants across campus, and on campus, the HUB hosts many events on the weekend.  the Bryce Jordan Center has many famous stars has its visitors, for exampe, Linkin Park, Kanye West,Nelly, Michael Moore, Tracy Morgan and much more.\n\nUVA probably ranks higher on a US News Report ranking, but how can you beat a 100% tuition free school?  \n\nPSU may be a B school, but it is highly respected.\n\nPersonally, i think PSU is the way to go only because of its large network.  Afterall, nowadays its more like who you know than what you know.

depends what your concentration is going to be. Penn State, Pitt and Temple have good programs. Of course there are definitely others, but those 3 stick out in my mind.

Both of them are pretty prestigious schools and you wont really go wrong either way. If your program is a little bit better at michigan then id recommend going there but if you are unsure or they are about equal i would say NYU is gonna look better on most of your resumes unless your planning on living in the midwest where a u of m degree holds some weight.

In Virginia, I think University of Virginia, James Madison University and Longwood University have the highest accredibility.\n\nI'll be attending Longwood soon enough.

Texas A&M has a fairly good reputation for business.  \n\nIt is certainly no Harvard University or Wharton School, but it is much better than a community college.\n\nHope this helps!

Buff State is a great college with a super teaching program.  Don't know about CUNY though.  Plus, Buffalo ROCKS!!  GO SABRES!!

The only USA college that I have heard of that has a human factors engineering department is Wright State University in Dayton, OH.  With a little web browsing, it appears that Virginia Tech also has some sort of human factors engineering center.\n\nCheck out the links below; they give a pretty good explanation of human factors engineering and how it is studied.

You should try University of Phoenix or Devry:\nhttp://www.phoenix.edu/\nhttp://www.devry.edu/

I just checked out the MSU website. It is regionally accredited, which is the best accreditation there is. If you want to check it out more go to the following link:\n\nhttp://www.mountainstate.edu

Generally ME is more focused on application and MS is more focused on theory.  My alma mater has the ME candidates do a project for their ME and the MS candidates do a dissertation.

Barbizon School of Modeling blows them both out of the water!!! \n\nJoking... I would prefer University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne... It's a great school and the extra-curricular activities are great.... Plus Chicago is not too far away... I loved it when I visited there while I was in college....

Honestly - probably Tennessee State. If you're looking to do a specific major then you should do some homework on both schools. As for overall - yea - Tenn State. But Atlanta seems like a way better town (by better, I mean more to do and more fun) than anything in Tennessee - so consider your options.

I had two friends go to school for that graduated from Pitt. One is working as a Dental Assistant and the other at a Sams club. Personally i would double major with film and busness or something with it incase you cannot get into the field... also my two friends were not willing to move... New york or California or Detroit or Flordia, GO were the most action is but i am still advising to double major

Thunderbird in Arizona has the best reputation for international business, but it is a very unique and specialized program and may not be ideal for everybody.  Harvard obviously has the best NAME for it, and is among the strongest, and a degree from there would certainly serve you well, but is very difficult to get into.  The same can be said for Wharton at Pennsylvania.  Perhaps South Carolina would be the best place for regular students to go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

You've gotten some good answers already, so I'll try to say something different.\n\nI agree that you should try to visit if you possibly can.  You didn't tell us where you currently live, but you should be able be able to hit the schools in PA and NJ in one weekend, and then do another trip for the MO school if you're still torn.  \n\nConsider the locations of the schools.  It's going to be warmer in Missouri (that's MO, right?) than it will be in PA/NJ.  In the northeast you'll be closer to big cities like Philadelphia and New York, but I don't know what's in MO.  \n\nHave you already applied to the schools and you're deciding which to choose?  Or have you not applied yet?  If not, I would say, apply and see which ones come through with the best financial aid.  Easy way to eliminate some options from the list, if you get chunky scholarships from one or two schools and not from the other(s).\n\nDid someone say to talk to the professors?  See who the professors are, what their research is in, how many profs there are, and talk to them about the programs.  Maybe one school has much larger classes than another, which would be a negative point; maybe one offers more opportunities for research and hands-on work in the field.  Maybe one of the schools has a professor you particularly like whom you can kind of apprentice yourself to.  These can all be deciding factors if the schools are that similar.

I would pick Weber State. Weber States education program is one of the bests in the state.
