Quote from Allmighty1:
I see. So you would rather not disclose the name of the institution (and that's fine). I am a graduate of Cal Berkeley. Interestingly we don't make the distinction you have, calling your school an east coast research university..I don't think I have ever heard a school characterized that way..Can I ask what degree you took?
A research university consists of faculty members who do more research than teach. They are compensated based on their research and publications, whereas a college, where the facultyâs main priority is teaching and not research, is not considered a research university.
I didnât âtakeâ any degree, but I have earned a few within finance.
