I am trying to decide between Clemson and Villanova and I would like to find more about Clemson’s job placement in the business world (I intend on majoring in finance). I live in New York and would like to get a job in NYC (specifically Wall Street) upon graduating. Villanova’s School of Business has nearly a 100% job placement rate and has a very good reputation and network in NYC. I have not been able to find too much information about Clemson’s job placement statistics (Bloomberg has their placement rate at like 44% but I don’t believe that). It is my understanding that most of CBBS recruitment is done in the Charlotte area (Bank of America) so people that I talked to did not have too much to say about how Clemson students fared finding good jobs in the northeast. Clemson definitely has a good reputation in the southeast, but I have heard mixed opinions about the school form people in the northeast (more-so positive), and I think that it’s reputation is definitely on the rise here. My main question here is how much more difficult would it be to get a job in NYC with a degree from CBBS as opposed to Villanova, and could it potentially restrict me from any future opportunities.
(I would really like to go to Clemson fyi, so any helpful feedback is greatly appreciated)
Have you seen this page http://www.clemson.edu/majors/financial-management ? It includes Career info for Financial Management majors… although only for students who completed a survey between 2009 and 2011, which was a tough time to find a job.
