According to Thrillist.com Ohio Northern University holds a prestigious spot among Ohio colleges and universities.
Joe McCauley, writing for the website’s article on “These are the colleges most likely to land you a job in every state,” has ONU listed as the top such college in Ohio.
McCauley writes:
"Using the latest data on job placement ratings for colleges, the career-guidance site Zippia put together a brand new list of the schools in each state with the best record of getting their graduates jobs after graduation.
"Specifically, they looked at the employment levels for all college graduates a decade after students had earned their degrees, then identified the school in each state with the highest placement rate, and even ranked the 10 with the highest in the country.
"Overall, Pennsylvania's Lebanon Valley College earned the top spot, with a placement rate at 96.185%. The number two school in the country was Salve Regina University in Rhode Island, (placement rate: 95.896%), and Ohio's Ohio Northern University (placement rate: 95.527%)."
