Advice for Employers and Recruiters
Best Colleges for Management Information Systems Majors
When top employers are asked to rank the best colleges and universities, they invariably disagree as what is best for one employer may be awful for another. One employer, for example, may need the cream of the cream and is ready, willing, and able to do what it takes to recruit and retain that talent. But the other employer may only think that the cream of the cream is the best candidate for her organization when in fact a solid B student at a second tier school will be far more likely to accept a job offer and stay for years.
Another difference that often crops up on surveys of the top colleges is that one school may have a wonderful liberal arts program but be very average in its other areas while a second school may be solid across the board but not excel in any one program. But when asked to rank the best colleges for management information systems majors, large employers chose:
- Purdue University
- Pennsylvania State University
- Georgia Institute of Technology
