<p>Let’s make this a triple crown – Michigan is 9th in LinkedIn’s Best Schools for Software Developers

<p>Methodology:

  • First, we identified the top companies where software developers are choosing to work
  • Next, we found people on LinkedIn who work as software developers and saw where they went to school
  • Finally, for each school, we found the percentage of these alumni who’ve landed software development jobs at these top companies, then compared the percentages to come up with the list.</p>

<p>Top companies: Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon…</p>
