There are supposed to be some drastic changes to the methodology for the 2024 rankings, but I noticed that a lot of regional and nontraditional universities crossed over into the National Universities category for the 2022-2023 year. Here are some notable ones I saw. Keiser University - 219 Nova Southeastern University - 219 Pace University - 234 West Chester University of Pennsylvania - 250 Alliant International University - 331-440 Capitol Technology University - 331-440 Colorado Technical University - 331-440 Grand Canyon University - 331-440 Liberty University - 331-440 National Louis University - 331-440 Purdue University Global - 331-440 South College - 331-440 University of Phoenix - 331-440 University of the Cumberlands 331-440 University of Massachusetts Global - Unranked

It started off as a for-profit accounting school with multiple locations around the country. It didn't really become traditional until the last part of the 20th century.
It surprise my Keiser University is moving up ranking properly the result after acquiring Northwood University to have it main campus in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Yes . . . It is nice to see them move up. I am finishing my DBA with Keiser and from the very start until now, I am glad I chose them. Very student centric organization, and excellent helpful Dissertation Committee. They did leap into a higher category of a university when they acquired the Northwood campus and the sports teams.
I get it. I think there should be a R in Colonel. Colonel Sanders. Colonel Klink…….all the greats. I haven’t figured out the reasoning behind that spelling and pronunciation.
Here it is: We got it from 16th C. French and it had an "r" there, which they later changed to "l." We kept the "r"in the pronunciation when we changed the spelling to "l". The French didn't. See below. Google: “Colonel” came to English from the mid-16th-century French word coronelle, meaning commander of a regiment, or column, of soldiers. By the mid-17th century, the spelling and French pronunciation had changed to colonnel. The English spelling also changed, and the pronunciation was shortened to two syllables.
Pretty much. By Google, from the Guardian: "Over time the word "locum" (place -J.) evolved into the French word "lieu", which is pronounced in French as it is spelled. It is possible that when the English heard the French pronounce the compound word lieutenant, they perceived a slurring which they heard as a "v" or "f" sound between the first and second syllables."
Exactamente, señor. Google: "The word comes from the French lieu (place) and tenant (holder). The Lieutenant then is one who holds the place of another. Since he took the place of a senior officer the Lieutenant ranked next to that person and was his deputy." It's exactly the same as when your doctor goes on holiday - or maternity leave, as mine did, recently. (Again, congratulations, K.) A "locum" - another doctor, replaces them. That's for "locum tenens" - place holder in Latin -- from which phrase the French "lieu tenant" is derived. Latin class was good for a WHOLE LOT of things... and I can still remember most of them. French class was great too -- and learning Latin along with it made it even better! It was kind of like "language engineering." You got to SEE how everything WORKED.
...and how the parts were made - and how they fit together. Like an IKEA assembly manual. Kan du läsa svenska?
