Most Employable College Grads by Region in 2015

After launching entry-level positions for recent grads a mere 3 months ago, the WayUp team noticed that about 70% of employers chose to forfeit the option to create a listing that targeted all schools in the U.S., even though expanding the targeted applicant pool dramatically increased the probability of reaching their maximum desired candidates. This made us wonder: which schools do employers across the board deem the ones that produce the most employable grads?

Take a look at the rankings of the top 5 schools by region that were most frequently included in listings across our site – these are the top schools to watch! Note that this analysis does not include listings with any filters like location, which may have skewed results.
