Oregon Graduate Institute, which offers a online MS in Management in Science and Technology, will merge with Oregon Health Sciences University. Guess what's the name of the new university? .... .... .... Oregon Health & Science University. Sounds good? ------------------ Jonathan Liu http://www.geocities.com/liu_jonathan/distance.html
No! Eewww! They have gotta be able to do better than that. Columbia University is already taken... Cascade University. As I understand it, OGI is private while OHSU is state run, being the former U. of Oregon medical school in Portland, spun off to be an independent state university. So I wonder what this new OH&SU will be. A sort-of-state university?
I guess the new one will still be state-run. Also, I think the reason for such name change is because OHSU is already a brand name in Medical/Health subject. OHSU ranks No. 2 in US in primary care according to US News. And it leads in many other areas. ------------------ Jonathan Liu http://www.geocities.com/liu_jonathan/distance.html
