How do you know how rigorous a college (overall or in a specific subject / major) is?

Different thread - but @merc81 just posted this about neuro - so I’ll take that @merc81 knows specifically about Pitt.

As an opinion, the University of Pittsburgh may represent the stronger choice for neuroscience. For one reason why this might be the case, the study of neuroscience includes the interrelationships between the basic sciences and concepts from philosophy. And Pitt has a very strong philosophy department.

It’s interesting to me though - I looked at College Factual - they rate FSU - but Pitt is not listed in PA - they only list Penn and Scranton. One just never knows!!!
