Happy to see this short article. We may at times be short-sighted in our views as to what truly constitutes "higher eduction." As I noted in a prior post, the public institution in Iowa with the largest enrollment is none of the three state universities; it's a junior college.
Here's a higher education quiz for Missourians. The university in this state with the highest enrollment in University of Missouri System. Well, duh! That's a no-brainer.
Okay, what's the name of the university, public or private, with the second largest student enrollment?
One last question, what U.S. university, public or private, has the largest student enrollment?
