I know there is a reason why they separate National Universities from Regional Colleges...but is there a way to compare across groupings? Is it that National Universities are generally "better"?(I hate using that term since it's so subjective)

The reason I ask...I looked up the schools in the MVC and here is what I found:

Loyola - 106 (National)
Illinois St - 156 (National)
SIU - 179 (National)
Wichita St - NA (National)
Indiana St - NA (National)
Drake - 3 (Midwest Regional)
Bradley - 6 (Midwest Regional)
Evansville - 9 (Midwest Regional)
UNI - 22 (Midwest Regional)
Missouri St - 60 (Midwest Regional)

"National Universities offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master's and Ph.D. programs, and emphasize faculty research. National Liberal Arts Colleges focus almost exclusively on undergraduate education. They award at least 50 percent of their degrees in the arts and sciences.

"Regional Universities offer a broad scope of undergraduate degrees and some master's degree programs but few, if any, doctoral programs. Regional Colleges focus on undergraduate education but grant fewer than 50 percent of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines; this category also includes schools that have small bachelor's degree programs but primarily grant two-year associate degrees. Regional Universities and Regional Colleges are further divided and ranked in four geographical groups: North, South, Midwest, and West."
