Is that correct? Is that how the rankings go? I don't know if you're allowed to say far and away.
And the number one, both the ASN, which is your Associates of Nursing degree, Bachelors of Nursing degree, and the RN to BSN program that we have at our Tupelo campus, those programs are number one in the state of Mississippi.
And outside of Mississippi, because sometimes I have to explain this when I say, like, Mississippi School for Math and Science, which is housed at MEW, clearly the number one school in the state of Mississippi, but quite often is in the top 20 or 30 of the country.
The most interesting part about that to me is that it's a little chronically underfunded public school in Mississippi, and it's going against boarding schools in Connecticut that have $100 million endowments, that sort of thing.
which is that I think the number is close to 15 or 18% of all nursing schools are directly correlated with major hospitals and major universities.
So like University of Mississippi Medical School, somewhat of example in the tie-in with Ole Miss and all that.
