They have more upper level classes because they have an endowment and a Masters program in my field. However, 10 years ago, it was mostly impossible for this to happen since commuting between the schools was difficult due to parking. Then, a rich family started an endowed program between the schools to foster collaboration. This included a scholarship program for undergrads to take classes at both, a seminar series, a large study room to be used by commuting students, and most importantly, an all-day direct shuttle between the two schools. Its sad that the schools didn't pony up the money for this a long time ago because it really does make a lot of sense. It also allows the schools (especially graduate programs) to specialize a lot more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
