LinkedIn Ranks Bentley a Top College for Graduates’ Career Success
A new ranking by LinkedIn names Bentley #15 in the U.S. among colleges that “best set graduates up for long-term success.” The university was also ranked #1 nationwide on LinkedIn’s list of colleges with the highest job placement in financial services.
The rankings, based on LinkedIn’s extensive data on career outcomes, looked at important factors including job placement after graduation, the percentage of alumni who advance in their careers and the relevant skills gained by graduates.
“Schools like Bentley University … are excelling at connecting students with high-quality internships, building strong alumni networks, and helping graduates secure jobs or graduate school placements quickly, all factors that drive long-term career success,” said Andrew Seaman, senior editor-at-large for jobs and career development at LinkedIn News, in a Fortune story about the rankings.
