The Wall Street Journal found the University of Virginia is exceptional when it comes to positioning undergraduates for high-paying jobs in finance, consulting and technology.
In its springtime ranking, the business publication ranked UVA No. 3 for finance, No. 5 for consulting and No. 13 in technology, when compared to other public schools.
“The rankings – which include the top 20 public and private universities for launching graduates into high-earning jobs – aim to answer: If the chosen career and the number of years in the field are the same, what effect does the undergraduate school somebody went to have on their salary?” the paper wrote. “The effect can be huge.”
