I kind of like the list - very pre-professional focused and makes sense for the type who read WSJ. Methodology is 70% Student Outcomes, 20% Learning Environment, and 10% Diversity, with each of those broken up with different metrics. [/quote]
The list is highly  skewed.  San Jose State is a CSU school right in the heart of silicon valley.   Many get jobs there with higher than median wages since the area  has a hcol. But the salaries they get there are considered lower/middle income for that area.

I went to two CSUs, including SJSU, and eventually worked for a FAANG, but a lot don't end up working for a FAANG.  Don't get me wrong.. CSU schools have a great ROI if you choose to stay in CA and get a job.  But, it's not worth it if you are from oos.

Plus, there are so many layoffs now in big tech, I'm not sure how easy it is for those SJSU grads to now get a decent paying job right out of college.[/quote]
