this is a Masters Program, so technically falls outside the purvey of this list. But still, Baruch is a hidden gem for quant placement

I didn't even know financial engineering was a thing!

Marine biology at ... Eckerd College in Florida? I'm not sure about the school name.

University of Rochester for Political Science.

Top 5 program (with Harvard, Stanford and Princeton) in some sub areas of poly sci and top 15 overall.
I know a very top kid who matriculated there and was like "decent enough school but huh?" but it was a purposeful choice for her interest.

Wonder how well they are rated for Underwater Basketweaving?


Alfred University is top-notch in this area--ceramics, glass, material science/engineering. Not a joke at all.


There's a GDS kid going to Alfred this year for art and design.

It's #1 in the US for ceramics and top 10 for fine arts.

Great topic! So many niche areas of study that need more exposure.

Baruch grads go directly to Goldman, JPM, and top hedge funds at a higher rate than ANY other school in the country - for a fraction of the cost. Best hidden gem in the country if you want a NYC college experience and high paying finance job straight out of college - these kids kill it on the street

Stevens Institute, on the lovely banks of Hoboken NJ, a close second in this regard
