Finally a ranking that matters...
SOURCE: Emerging
METHODOLOGY: Between May 18 and June 7 of 2012, more than 2,500 recruiters and 2,200 international chief executives and business managers were asked to select their top universities. The countries represented were Australia, Brazil, Britain, China, Germany, France, Italy, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.
Part one of the two-part survey asked more than 2,500 recruiters in 20 countries (including Britain, China, and the United States) to describe the qualities they find important in a new hire. The online survey included questions such as to what extent should a new hire be immediately effective and productive in the company, which foreign languages (other than English) are needed to succeed in a company, and which qualities are important for the long-term employability of a graduate. It also asked about “soft skills,” such as adaptability, communications, and the ability to work in a team.

Monkeys, this is one of the most sensible rankings I've ever seen and I believe this list truly captures international business prestige. The reason BU, NYU, and ASU do so well is because they accept a very high percentage of international students so there's a high level of visibility for these schools abroad.

What do you all think?
Sexy results. Guess Cornell offers too many sports scholarships to Canadians
Columbia, BU, brown, nyu, are way too high.
Pitt holding it down at #50 and yet nobody recruits here.
BU number 7? Yeah ok. One of the better rankings out there but there are a few head-scratchers.
MSU higher than UofM...I call some BS on this list...also BU, BC and UNC are all way too high.
UNC and BC are pretty solid schools who are ranked pretty close to where they are at here by USNWR as well. MSU doing better than UMich is a surprise but you have to consider that MSU dominates in the field of Supply Chain Management and graduates a lot more students than UMich period so it may have higher visibility.
Also MSU has the #1 nuclear physics grad program along with great turf grass, packaging and vet med programs among others. Not to say its better than Michigan because of this, but it's definitely got some niche programs that are world class. There's no doubt mich dominates in business, medicine and engineering (among others).
Here's a simiar ranking - http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-ran…
Given the international angle, I actually think that this ranking makes sense.
Makes sense, although there's a definite tilt towards larger schools.
Caltech is the noticeable outlier, for good reason. That school has only 2200 kids and it's ranked number 9. Those kids are absolutely brilliant.
From a Canadian perspective....
I understand how UofToronto (24) could be top among Canada but how is:
McGill, Montreal HEC (29), McMaster (30) >> Queens (56), Western/ Ivey (85), Waterloo (108)
It's just a ranking of comprehensive globally-recognized schools, has nothing to do with business programs.
Honestly speaking? This is a pretty crappy ranking.
25 sittin' on 25 mil
Gawdam. Don't care 'bout no rankings
oshit, im top 50 now. I would have never known.
I find it hard to believe that Peking University is ranked the top school in Asia coming in at 11, well ahead of Tsinghua at 84.
Why are oxbridge so high? They've been in decline since WWII. The average student at pretty much every ivy except maybe cornell and brown are of higher caliber than the average oxbridge student.
The point isn't the quality of the students but the perception of them in the job market. Oxbridge is a pretty incredible brand regardless of the average student's "caliber."
lol @ ohio state, texas a&m, MICHIGAN STATE ahead of Vanderbilt, Emory, Rice, Notre Dame? Michigan state accepts previous felons. probably by far the worst list I've ever seen. this is parody at best.
I love when people get all riled up about college rankings when the below list is the definitive ranking of colleges:
Cal at 1? Brown at 2? Carnegie at 4? Emory at 10?
LOL, get this shit out of here
