Just for fun, if you want to see the blatant discrepancy in academic pedigree at Whitewater compared to UW-Madison pick any academic department website at Whitewater and compare it with UW-Madison. At Madison you will see professors from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc. These are the top schools in the nation according to US News and other sources. At Whitewater you'd be hard pressed to find even 1 professor from a top 5 school in the U.S. in most departments.

My roommate from my college days in Madison back in '04-'06 was a UW-Madison History major with an intent on majoring in education to become a high school history teacher. He couldn't get into the uber competitve School of Education at Madison so he transfered to Whitewater where ANYONE can become a teacher. Throughout the next two years at Whitewater he told me stories of how his GPA was never threatened and the course work was easy and how the quality of professors paled in comparison to those he had at UW-Madison. He said the competition at whitewater just wasn't as fierce as what he experienced at UW-Madison. I also had another roommate who transfered back home to the University of Arizona so he could get into the Electrical Engineering program there because Madison's was so tough to break into. Anyone who has gone to UW-Madison can testify to these things, and those of you attended satellite schools around the state will probably never understand these points.

Where did you find your info on UW-Madison churning out CEO's as fast as Harvard? I'm not saying it's not true, I've just never heard it.

If you went to Madison, how did you become such and expert on the grading system and the professors? I'd be curious to know where you're dislike of UWW comes from.

You all might be surprised to learn that in addition to a BTC degree I hold a Bachelors degree from the UW-Madison. THE UW-Madison blows UW-Wastewater's business school out of the water. Harvard and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Tie in Turning Out the Most CEOs in US. So there you have it. The Dean's list is so large because of rampant grade inflation and lack of high academic standards at Wastewater. The quality of the professors at Wastewater pales in comparison to the flagship school in this state you local yokels.

BTCalum-
2003 CPA exam - 74% passed first time compared to 20% national average.
MCS program is ranked #1 in US and Canada
Institute of Management Accountants named UWW one of top 3 in country. Only school to get this 3 out of last 4 years.
Over in the College of Education they prepare the highest number of teachers in Wisconsin out of 33 schools. There are currently 2200 students in COE.
There are over 10,000 students at UW-W. How many are there at BTC? Now you know why the Dean's List is so large; there are many students and the education is top rate.

GO VO-TECH GRADS, GO !!!!!!!

Whitewater is a fantastic school with good students. There accounting program is always in the top ten in the nation for passing the CPA. Sounds like someone is jealous they can't make the Dean's list. If you go there to study and not party its not that difficult.

I'm guessing you didn't go to UW-W by your name, so how are you to judge how grading is at WW? They have a great business program and have an accounting program that is very well known. I don't know the exact stats, but WW students do extremely well on the CPA exam.

BTC likes to give NO masters degree administration employees huge raises. this way your teacher can be an idiot and they don't care as long as the administration can get paid more.

I always have to laugh when they call it a curriculum vitas. For you lay-people that's fancy talk for a resume. I wonder how long it took a committee to come up with that?

yes BTC is such a great school right, NO they fire long term employees to hire cheaper ones. good luck with your cheap education !

Maybe they'll put forth an effort to curb the rampant grade inflation on campus. On the back page of the Gazette a couple of weeks ago the Dean's List was the ENTIRE back page. Apparently nearly everyone gets A's at UW-Wastewater.
