< These generally are found in the first 2 years of a degree, you may need to look carefully at the names,
and you may need to do some searching in the catalog to find what a class really is. If you are having

<< Complete sentences explaining results from Decision Matrix >>
This decision matrix shows that Texas A&M is by far the best University out of the three that were
considered within this decision matrix. I wholeheartedly agree with the results. The reason that was least
important to me was the only one that A&M really struggled in (a.k.a. Climate).That distinction also makes
Texas the clear second choice in Universities, and Missouri the obvious last choice.
