BYU currently receives federal research grants. At least in the Environmental

I don’t think the BOT care all that much about it. They care about undergrad,

If it was something that they knew would benefit the University without compromising its mission, I'm sure they'd

I think the BOT likes all the good things that the graduate research departments across BYU accomplish, so it's not like

Kudos to USU and its Space Dynamics Lab.

BYUs resistance against research is beyond me. What I love is the nonsense

There isn't a "resistance against research" at BYU - faculty have an obligation

This. There is a ton of great research going on at BYU. BYU (or the Church) is not trying to suppress that. But they do

Exactly; to go along with that, BYU is in the top ten of all universities in

The focus is to allow as many people as possible to have the "BYU experience."

It's not just environmental - BYU does a LOT of federal research grants

Yep. It's fascinating how widely believed this false rumor is. I'm not sure where it came from, but BYU researchers
dilbert
12/22/21 8:53am
It probably comes from the fact that BYUI and BYUH don't receive anything.

Yeah, maybe so.

No, BYU has no plans to become a T1 research school

Utes make a big deal but it’s not a big deal and not very exclusive.

It does cut against the whole "BYU is the best school in the region" narrative

I would put many if not most of the U and USU's grad research programs above BYU

Based upon applicant credentials BYU is by far the best in the area

At the undergraduate level, yes. Not graduate level though (research programs).

Which graduate program at BYU is ranked worse than the counter parts?

Quite a few honestly

Most of those listed are not offered at BYU especially all the medical.

So, let's go ahead and take all the medical out then - Utah then only has 13 better programs to BYU's 4

There are approximately 1,452 4-year colleges and universities; only 137 are R1.

My point is if commuter schools and schools with rolling admissions have it
