<p>Correction: "a MORE focused undergraduate experience." I heard this about UVA on CC and I'm curios what do they mean by this. Does in mean the professors devote the same time and energy in undergraduate courses like they would in their graduate school courses?</p>
<p>I’m not sure I follow. Where was this discussed? What was the context? Was “more focused” used to describe faculty or UVa overall?</p>
<p>Did you here that in another forum? Because I respond regularly to questions here, and have never heard that phrase used to describe UVa. If you’re just trying to cleverly ask about undergrad academics, then are you looking for more insight about the professors, classes, students in class, libraries, tests, honor code, etc? “Undergrad experience” covers a LOT, so try to be a little more specific. :)</p>
<p>Yes, I did hear this on another forum and no I’m not trying to be clever. That’s the wording that was used. I would guess that by “undergraduate experience” would be the professor/instructor-student relationship outside and inside of class. Most likely a research university will focus its power on the graduate courses and research aspect as opposed to the undergraduate courses.</p>
<p>Maybe posting the link to the thread you are referencing would provide clarity.</p>
