Top Affordable Colleges with RT/TR

I just read an article from Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine titled "The 50 Best Values in Public Colleges."

The article listed 50 colleges and universities that offer the best education at the best price. If you know someone looking for an affordable college with an RT/TR curriculum, there are five best choices according to the Kiplinger article.

These are the University of North Carolina Wilmington (ranked 25th), Clemson University (34th), Penn State University (35th), the University of Wisconsin La Crosse (38th), and Indiana University Bloomington (40th).

Note that the ranking following the university is the ranking for the overall value of the institution in terms of value for the dollar -- not the quality of the RT/TR curriculum at that university. All of the RT/TR programs at these five universities, however, do enjoy fine reputations.

I was particularly pleased that my old institution, Indiana University, was listed as one of the best universities in terms of value. I know that IU offers a strong TR curriculum and that the faculty at IU is tops.

I thought this was an interesting list in terms of our profession and opportunities for study RT/TR at fine universities with good academic reputations. Any thoughts?
