Public Th.D Programs in the Sixth World, State Schools and their Magic Paradigms Options

[Kalvan]

I disagree on the paradigm stranglehold Renewed Hermeticism is supposed to have on North America. Oh, I think Renewed Hermeticism is the majority paradigm, but its share of Th.D grants I would probably say would be at most 55%.

Anybody want to suggest a paradigm for any particular college?

[Ancient History]

Heh heh. Looks like Damien Knight must have gone to the University of Florida.

University of Illinois at Chicago was Renewed Hermeticism, specializing in elemental summoning and likely enchanting elemental summoning materials. But it's probably delegated to "Bug Studies" after 2058, assuming they open it again.

[Ancient History]

[badwithmath]

Two schools you might want to add to the list, unless you have already thought about and rejected them:

Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Its a private school, huge endowment, and is currently has very strong research in biology, bio-engineering and non-primary care medicine. Plus, its supposed to be the "Harvard of the South"

Tulsa University in Tulsa, OK. A private school and its particularly good at chemical engineering, I think.

Some others I can think of, but I'm not sure if they have been addressed in sourcebooks...Tufts in Boston...Dartmouth....Princeton University...Yale.

[Smilin_Jack]

For Texas I'd say the University of Texas @ Dallas would be a more likely candidate for teaching a Hermetic tradition than UT:Arlington. UTD is a much more technically oriented school than UTA.

[SL James]

That's a great list, but may I suggest actually considering what is canon as schools even worth mentioning? That way it also reduces the number to a handful of quality schools in North America (and about twice as many with private). Everything else... Well, it's like going to a party school like ASU to study Computer Engineering. Possible, but useless.

UCLA (First Th.D program in the world), Texas A&M, MIT&M, Cal Tech, and UW. Also Lakehead U, but that's more shamanic.

Private schools add Seattle U, Georgetown, Harvard, USC, UChicago, and Columbia.

Also, UCLA would not be underwater. Westwood is on a hillside creeping up to the mountains. It's higher than ~80% of the L.A. basin. CalTech definitely wouldn't be either, being in Pasadena and all.

[Kalvan]

Thing is, though, not everybody with a ThD who's running the shadows or an extraction target comes from the canon list.

In addition, certain states (Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, and yes, California come to mind) have a reputation for a commitment to public reputation above and beyond the call of the "Party School" stereotype.

The Big Ten is regarded as third brainiest sports conference in America (After the Ivy League and the New England Small Conference).

Other really good state colleges include Miami of Ohio, William and Mary, College of Charleston, and all of Florida's research universities (Which together behave more like the U.C. system than the situation in Texas or Michigan.)

I will admit that the talent is rarer than say, the aptitude for physical medicine. However, the startup costs for starting a ThD program consist mainly of hiring the teaching staff, plus lodge and materials costs that must be far cheaper than 21st century medical equipment. (Though I will concede that orichalcum and magic radicals will cost about as much as radioisotope tracers.)

What about Carleton? They have a Druids club; hello automatically known metamagics and blood sacrifices! Whodathunk that a Midwestern college would rule most of Europe?

[toturi]

Might want to add in the Service Schools too. I bet they teach military-oriented magic as well.

[Kalvan]

[The ubbergeek]

What about Quebec? I have a mage from there...

[Dog]

Did you make up the list of universities, or get it from somewhere?
The Universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are very separate entities, and about 600 km apart. There're two Universities in Winnipeg. U of W, the smaller one, is considered more humanities-oriented. If anything, given the cultural diversity of the area, you're more likely to see other traditions studied around here.
Does that help?

[Kalvan]

[Dog]

Yes, it would be. I could see changing the name to allow for the Gappers that moved out of the NAN. I'm not saying it's not plausible for the sixth world, but did you get this from somewhere or speculate it up yourself?

*blink* shussh... I had it confused for Delhi...

Throw me a bone, I went to Morrisville for 2 years. That will rot anyones brain.
