The Wall Street Journal Ranks NCSU Grads the 19th most sought after by recruiters, 6 places above UNC.

Haven't seen this discussed around here.

I refuse to believe that UNC is above Duke. Thus making me question this validity of the rankings.

Florida and Maryland made the top 10, so this list is very suspect.

this list is ridiculous. Va Tech above UC Berkeley and UVA? Sought after by recruiters because these grads are willing to take shit pay? No explanation of why the schools' grads are so sought after.

It reads like a list of schools that are a recruiter's dream, in that they produce a ton of graduates that need a recruiter to be able to place them in a job position. But then Carnegie Mellon and Georgia Tech appeared on the list.

take that UNC with your over inflated grades and cheaters

It seems to me the list is based on local recruiters, not national recruiters.

NCSU, VT, & the other southern engineering based schools produce workers that are needed in their local areas.

If you consider BYU to be a feeding ground for the morman church (which has a huge organization), accounting, management, & psychology makes perfect sense.

yeah, clearly there is religious bias at play because the Univ. of Utah generates graduates that are much more prepared for the workplace than BYU.

BYU is just a gigantic bob jones university.

If you can't tell, i have no respect for that institution.

I never quite understood why schools in the Va public college system are an order of magnitude more expensive than NC. One thing is it if they simply do not subsidize in-state tuition as much as out-of-state. Out of state though for UVA or VTech is 2x the cost of NCSU or UNC.

What gives? Does this extra money mean that they are that much better of a school??? or is it wasted on inefficiencies and government crap.

^^^General cost of living/operating is high in virginia. They have to pay higher salaries, land costs, taxes and people are willing/able to pay more. You could go to a shitty public school in California for 5 times the cost of UNC.
