I see this as an opportunity to compete against a prestigious program.

For the past 36 years, this prestigious program has honored more than 5, 800 of America's most successful schools.

These prestigious programs attract students from all over the world.

While their beginnings may have been small, the goal was huge - build the largest, most prestigious all-star program in the country.

Fox, the fledgling, was willing to pay a premium to land the prestigious program.

In 1993, the most prestigious program of the industry, the Buran space shuttle, was canceled.

So the direct investment in a prestigious program is at least $75,000 to $100,000.

Many pre-med graduates are admitted to the most prestigious programs in the country.

That is a far cry from the 1960's, when some of Lockheed's most prestigious programs were tied to space exploration.

Anderson won't go into specifics as to why he decided against those prestigious programs.
