OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 For the fifth consecutive year, University of Mississippi<\/a> students have been named the state’s best at finding employment and keeping it, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education compiled in a new ranking from Zippia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ranking takes into account the most recent College Scorecard data released by the 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

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

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