Hidden gem
Wheaton College has been named a “hidden gem” for employers looking to hire business majors , according to College Recruiter.
The company, which helps connect recent graduates and current college students to jobs and internships, ranked Wheaton as No. 1 on its list of Top 12 Hidden Gem Colleges for Employers Hiring Business Majors.
The Hidden Gem rankings acknowledge colleges and universities that offer a high quality education but that may get overlooked by traditional lists.
“The modeling for this hidden gem school project was to identify the schools which featured high SAT/ACT scores for entering students, high average starting salaries for the regions in which the schools were located, a high percentage of graduates working in their chosen field of study and a majority of the graduating class available for recruitment by employers,” according to College Recruiter .
The lists, created with the help of data scientists, are designed to help employers know which institutions to target when seeking high-qualified individuals.
In addition to Wheaton, the top five institutions featured on the Hidden Gem for Business Majors list include Lehigh University, Brigham Young University-Provo, University of Miami and Bentley University.
