Rutgers Ranked by LinkedIn and Washington Monthly

Rutgers Business School, Newark and New Brunswick, has been ranked by both Washington Monthly and LinkedIn. Rutgers landed among the best schools for students interested in pursuing careers in marketing and finance, according LinkedIn and one of “America’s Best-Bang-for-the-Buck Colleges” by Washington Monthly.

LinkedIn ranked Rutgers no. 16 among the best schools in the U.S. for marketing and no. 22 among the best schools for students with ambitions of going into careers in finance. These rankings put Rutgers ahead of Penn State, Columbia University, Duke University, University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Emory University.

“As a professor who spends so much time working with students and helping them find jobs, I am so very happy to learn of this,” Professor Ben Sopranzetti said.

LinkedIn, a newcomer to the business of rankings, based their lists on how successful recent graduates have been at landing “desirable’’ jobs in both marketing and finance. LinkedIn identifies “desirable” jobs by analyzing employment patterns of more than 300 million of its members from around the world.
