For the fourth year in a row, University of Mississippi <\/strong>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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ranking takes into account 10 years’ worth of data on job placement rates by using the Department of Education’s <\/strong>“College Scorecard,” which is designed to help the public see “how well different schools are serving their students.”\u00a0Zippia<\/a>, a career expert website, compiled the data and created a ranking that shows the best college in each state for finding a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data shows that after 10 years, 91 percent of Ole Miss graduates are still employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not only the best percentage of all Mississippi schools, but it also tops a number of institutions across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UM is one of only two Power 5 <\/strong>institutions on the list for 2020 \u2013 the other being Auburn University<\/strong> \u2013 that posted a placement rate of 91. Ole Miss was on the list last year with two other Power 5 schools: Auburn and Georgia Tech.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth year Zippia has compiled the ranking, and the university has maintained the top ranking in the state all four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
