<p>Reasons why Cal Poly SLO is up so high: 3rd highest graduate salaries out of public universities (behind UCB and UVA). 89% of grads are either in grad school, or fully employed after 1 year of being graduated. Because getting an internship is required coursework for grads, they are looked at as much more prepared for the workforce. Aka: A newly graduated Cal Poly SLO student generally would get the job when compared to a graduate out of UC Davis.</p>

If you were like myself coming out of high school and were still undecided about your major field of study, here is an accurate list of our states best public universities overall that offer a wide array of quality programs. Sure some schools may have a certain field slightly better than another, but overall these schools share the same academic reputations for forbes, us news and world report and other like ranking systems as well as offer various outstanding academic programs. </p>
