[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]The ranking is built on exclusive LinkedIn data looking at career outcomes of alumni, such as job placement rates and advancement into senior-level positions, or how many alumni held an internship during their degree or started their own company post-grad.[/i]

Looks like it is a ranking of where people graduated from and where they ended up?

So nothing about the quality of education or facilities offered.  A different pov.

And explains:

Babson: Business school that produces titles like: Director of ..., VP of ...
Caltech: tech school that produces more titles like: Senior or Principal Engineer than: Director/VP of ....

maybe for business schools this would mean something?

And people who go into academics and research count how?[/quote]

Doesn't - this ranking is meant for people that want to climb the corporate ladder. Nothing else. You want research even USNWR doesn't do it.

For those who want research look at QS and filter for USA. Undergrad research possibilities tend to be highest at the top QS ranked schools. Many of the top ones also are tops in private/industry funding thus will have a nice buffer during the government related cuts. Top schools are digging into their private/corporate funding networks, some of which have had undergrad-sponsoring funding in place for years. [/quote]
