Florida International University Online Degree ($10k! ACE accepted)

They're 6th largest because of the real estate they own? That could be all dorms. Absolutely meaningless. Where I live no one cares about Florida. It's thousands of miles away. If someone earned a degree from a school with big name recognition like USC that matters even though it's on the other side of the country. FIU isn't going to be a big deal to much of the country especially since their claim to fame is real estate holdings. I mean the University of Rochester is in my backyard, but they are an internationally renowned medical research facility. They brag about that not how much real estate they own or lease and trust me they're all over the place with medical offices. I go to their doctors because of the specializations they offer not because they own 100 buildings in a 10 square mile distance.

Inadvertently, you are. More buildings means more funding. More funding means better quality staff, better quality facilities, a higher chance they perform significant research, etc.

Same applies for universities. As I said, it’s usually only in relation to one or 2 programs (In this case it’s marine science; they have the worlds only underwater lab). They also have a pretty decent business school.

Notoriety and renowned aren’t the same thing. There are plenty of articles on how many ways FIU has plenty of fantastic programs that are well known in the US. In circles where they matter (namely their international business school and marine science department) people know about them, regardless of where those people live. The fact that you haven’t seen them on the 6 o clock news and therefore claim no one cares about them where you live is probably a good thing.

More buildings doesn't necessarily transfer into more funding. For many colleges, it means more debt. Look at RPI and you'll see what I'm talking about. Marine science won't mean much in much of the country since a significant portion of the nation is landlocked. One can always find articles about how a college is. That's not difficult to do especially today with digital magazines and online news sources writing these articles ad nauseam. Funny how you bring up the 6 o'clock news when I said nothing about the news. I have worked in HR and hired plenty of people and not one had a degree from FIU. Then again I'm not located anywhere near Florida. I haven't come across any scholarly journals from them either in my research for my courses. I have many other universities including University of Rochester which I mentioned. They are on the news not for partying or causing trouble, but for their medical research. They've been in the national news for studying COVID vaccines and tests recently.
