How would you judge the business program’s alumni network and connections that can help you throughout your career?

A school’s alumni network and connections might be one of the most important aspects of a program. Schools with connected alumni networks are more likely to get its students and recent graduates solid internships and first jobs. This year, 2017 graduates at Notre Dame rated their school’s alumni network higher than any other at 9.66. Bucknell followed at 9.56 and Wharton rounded out the top-three with a 9.52.

Notre Dame also led last year’s alumni category, but with a 9.85. Wharton led the year before also with a 9.66. This year’s average across all schools of 8.05 was lower than last year’s 8.17 and the 8.12 from the year before that.
