Duke University: "South Harvard"
Duke University: Another famous private school on the southeast coast of the United States, founded by tobacco tycoon James Duke in 1924, is known for its enterprising spirit and rapid development, and is called "Harvard of the South".
Duke University is located in Durham, North Carolina, just standing with Chapel Hill and Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, and the culturally and geographically famous "North Carolina Triangle" has formed a high-tech, cutting-edge medical research and cultural education area.
As far as the campus architecture of Duke University is concerned, the whole east campus maintains the classical architecture of the George Dynasty, while the relatively new west campus, at first glance, is simply a replica of Oxford University in England. Although the appearance of the building is very classical and exquisite, all the building materials are solid granite in the southeastern United States. One hundred and seventy classical buildings seem to be hidden in beautiful mountains.
Duke University is not only a first-class academic hall, but also a good place for self-cultivation, family harmony and moral education. The southern United States has a vast territory and a warm and comfortable climate. Sarah P Duke Garden is a famous scenic spot with beautiful scenery. Duke's students are famous for being good at sports. They proudly claim that "Duke has the best basketball team in the world".
Duke University is weak in engineering, and science is hardly first-class except biology, but its strength in medicine, law and business is enough to make Duke among the first-class universities in the United States.

When buying a refrigerator, we will think of Haier; When buying sports shoes, we will think of Nike, which is the "fist product" of enterprises, not only providing core competitiveness for enterprises, but also the first choice for consumers. Then, when we are going to "buy" the undergraduate education of famous American universities, it is best to learn about the "fist" major of TOP20 universities in the United States first.
Comprehensive ranking first: Harvard University.
Harvard University, ranked first in USNEWS in 2008, deserves to be called "the best university in America". In addition to the world-renowned graduate schools and business schools in medicine and law, Harvard University is also famous for its "fist products" in biology, chemistry, mathematics, literature and political science. The latest USNEWS shows that Harvard University ranks first in the United States with 12 majors, far exceeding Princeton University (7), which ranks second.
These top majors are: algebra/number theory/algebraic geometry, geometry, biochemistry/biophysics/structural biology, immunology/infectious diseases, neuroscience/neurobiology, management, cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, organic chemistry, MBA in 2008, classics and music.
The number of "fists" is the first: MIT.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) still dominates the field of science and engineering, with 23 fists in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, electronic engineering, material engineering and mechanical engineering, almost twice as many as Harvard University, which ranks first in comprehensive ranking.
Let's count the "fists" of this science and engineering kingdom: physics, chemistry, mathematics, comprehensive ranking of engineering colleges in 2008, nuclear physics, nuclear engineering, quantum physics, plasma, inorganic chemistry, chemical engineering, material engineering, discrete mathematics and combination, computer theory, computer engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, electronic engineering/communication engineering (electrical/electronic &:) Aerospace engineering (aerospace/aviation/aerospace), production management (production/operation), logistics management (supply chain/logistics), (business) information system, genetics/genomics/bioinformatics.
The most concentrated advantage of fist: Stanford University.
Stanford University ranked fourth, and the 12 "fist" major ranked first. At first glance, the top 20 Ivy League schools seem to have nothing particularly striking. But if we pay attention to the ranking list, we will find that there are 63 top ten majors in Stanford University, which is the school with the most concentrated fist advantage in the top 20.
Let's take a look at these most concentrated advantage majors: the first major 12, the second major 15, the third major 8, the fourth major 7, the fifth major 6, the sixth major 3, the seventh major 6, the eighth major 3 and the ninth major 2. Among them, the "fist" majors ranked first are: physics, chemistry, biological sciences, comparative literature, mathematical statistics, geology, genetics/genomics/bioinformatics, computer science, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, aerospace engineering (aerospace/aviation/aerospace) and environmental/environmental sanitation engineering.
The "fist" majors of these famous American schools not only concentrate the most powerful teachers and scientific research forces, but also reflect the core competitiveness of the school. I hope that when choosing a school, students will consider the comprehensive ranking of the school and the ranking of the dominant majors and find the school and major that suits them best.
