NC State and other large state universities scored highest with job recruiters looking to hire the best trained and well prepared graduates to fill vacancies in today's improving job market, say respondents to a recent survey by The Wall Street Journal.
"This story is a testimony to the real-world learning that takes place at great universities like NC State," said NC State chancellor Randy Woodson. "Our students learn practical skills while maintaining a well-rounded approach to serving their state, their country, and the world, placing them among the nation's most prepared university graduates."
NC State ranked 19th overall (15th in engineering) by recruiters for some of the largest public and private corporations, non-profits and federal agencies in the nation. Schools had to have a minimum of 60 companies who recruited at the institution to be considered for inclusion - in the final rankings, NC State finished ahead of UNC, Duke, Notre Dame and MIT, among others.
