I apologize if I have offended anyone. Besides the education, which is the prize in itself, one can probably judge the ROI of any college by how its graduates are doing in the real world. As mentioned above, Placement (though nature of placement can be debated) is one of those measures and it seems WSU is doing well by that criteria. Furthermore, WSU grads can and might be more successful than someone who graduated from Harvard. The name brands do open doors, but that's about it, one's performance actually paves the path, from initial interview to annual KPI evaluations, hoina ra? So in the long run, the playing field might be leveled automatically. Makes sense?
