<p>The rankings were based on perceived quality of graduates–not quanitity hired other than you needed to have a minimum number to be ranked.</p>
<p>“In all, 479 recruiters completed the survey, a response rate of 57%. Total, those recruiters reported hiring more than 43,000 new grads in the prior year. We asked recruiters to identify, based on their experience, the schools on our list of 100 top colleges and universities whose bachelor degree graduates were the best-trained and educated, and best able to succeed once hired. Companies could also write-in schools not on our list. We also asked recruiters to identify how many new graduates they hired in the prior year—and from which majors—and then to rate which school’s grads were best in each major. Recruiters were asked to name, in rank order, their top schools overall and their top schools by major. Respondents could only rank schools and majors from which they actively recruit.”</p>
