Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University

<p>Those of you that read this thread more or less religiously for at least the last couple of years know that I like to highlight certain departments that I think are much better than the bogus ranking systems would have them. Of course, you same people know what I think about ranking systems, lol. But even with that, when it comes to individual departments those ranking systems reflect more about the grad level work than the undergrad, and those two things are very different.</p>

<p>Anyway, I saw this tidbit this morning about the BME department, which I think is outstanding at Tulane. Move</a> Over MIT: Tulane BioMed Students Win ASAIO First Annual Student Design Competition | Silicon Bayou News</p>

<p>This same article references a couple of other stories relating to successful competitions from the business school.</p>

<p>Additionally, while I don't have links right at hand, I know the School of Architecture has been recognized several times for their very exciting and hands-on work around New Orleans.</p>

<p>Of course there are other great departments at Tulane, and not all lend themselves to these kinds of competitions and media recognition. But when it happens it is nice to see.</p>
