Honor marks fifth consecutive year of recognition based on U.S. Department of Education data<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the fifth\u00a0consecutive year, University of Mississipp<\/strong>i students have been named the state’s best at finding employment and keeping it, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education<\/strong> compiled in a new ranking from Zippia.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ranking takes into account the most recent College Scorecard data released by the U.S. Department of Education. Zippia, a career expert website, ranked colleges in each state with the highest listed job placement 10 years after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data showed an employment rate of 91.42% for Ole Miss<\/strong> graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zippia reports states, “Whether it comes from excellent career centers, strong academic offerings, stellar reputations, or networking opportunities, certain colleges just flat-out do a better job of helping students launch their careers than other colleges.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UM not only has the best percentage of all Mississippi <\/strong>schools, but is one of only two of SEC schools recognized \u2013 the other being Auburn University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being ranked No. 1 for the fifth year in a row is a wonderful testament to the quality of students that we attract to the University of Mississippi,” said Toni Avant<\/strong>, director of the UM Career Center. “Because of their curricular and co-curricular experiences, our graduates have developed the career readiness competencies necessary to land great opportunities within global organizations and to lead within their respective fields.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
