Never let an egghead write your tag line. An expose.

According to the BakerMuse Department of Statistics and other lies, there are over 4,200 colleges and universities in the United States.  These citadels of higher education are  usually good at turning out scholars,  but very bad at turning out decent marketing tag lines.  Here's just a sampling.

Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.  We Train Shepards.  Talk about earning your sheep skin.  One can only assume that graduates of Shepard U are sent to some obscure middle eastern country and given a flock of noisy Karakul to hone their skills.

West Virginia Northern Community College.  It's all about where you're goin'.  Obviously, nobody is "goin' " to grad school in English.

Boyce College. The harvest is ready. Are you?  Ah, finally, a school for Amish migrant workers. 

University of Alaska Fairbanks.  America's Arctic University.   This is not to be confused with North Pole University. If you're a student that craves a school that's remote, cold and filled  with bears that are higher than you on the food chain,  UAF is for you.  One advantage:  You can say the dog sled team ate your homework.

Widener University School of Law.  Why Widener?  Why not Widener?  This may be the only law school in the country that has reasonable doubt built into their tag line.  Guilty as charged.

Anderson College. Anderson: A college with spirit!  Apparently, the Anderson mascot is a poltergeist or a cheerleader.

Jackson State Community College. Choose Jackson State. It's not where you end up... it's where you begin.   So, why go? Obviously this school doesn't give a wit about happens to you after orientation.

Assembly of God Theological Seminary.  Dangerously authentic . . . radically transformed.  It's gun toting priests and plastic surgery.

Sweet Briar College.  ideas passions intersections pleasures realities pathways.  Translation:  We wrote this by committee.

University of Maine at Machia.  Naturally!  I think this means clothing optional.  

University of North Florida. No one like you. No place like this. So incredibly unique, nobody attends.

Nyack College. Nyack is the place to prepare; the place to learn your true colors.  Buy a Crayola box, it's cheaper.

Michigan State University Detroit School of Law. The Best Ground is Yet to be Broken  I think this means that haven't built the school yet.

Rasmussen College. With Our On-line Classes, You Can Attend Class in Your Pajamas ... And Graduate Sooner in Your Robe!  It's good to know that the key benefit of attending Rasmussen is that I can wear by Buzz Lightyear PJs.
