Anybody have some rankings on intern programs?

I see on several places that certain colleges say they are ranked well for their co-op/intern programs. I've seen Kettering, Drexel, Georgia Tech, and Purdue all advertise that they are "ranked" by US News for their programs. Well I can't find these rankings. Can anybody provide a link for me or post them up here?

Straight off of Kettering's site: 'America's Best Colleges' - News Article - Kettering University

PROGRAMS TO LOOK FOR – INTERNSHIPS/CO-OP
Kettering is again among the “schools with outstanding examples of academic programs that are commonly linked to student success,” according to the editors at U.S. News & World Report. Only 18 institutions received this national distinction for 2010:
Alverno College (WI)
Berea College (KY)
Bradley University (IL)
Drexel University (PA)
Elon University (NC)
Georgia Institute of Technology*
Johnson and Wales University (RI)
Kettering University (MI)
Keuka College (NY)
New York University
Northeastern University (MA)
Ohio State University–Columbus*
Portland State University (OR)*
Purdue Univ.–West Lafayette (IN)*
Rochester Inst. of Technology (NY)
University of Cincinnati*
Univ. of Maryland–College Park*
Univ. of Southern California

HEHE, got some

From my understand Georgia Tech has the best internship program out of schools that do not have co op. I go to Northeastern and we have the oldest and most expansive program out of the co op schools.

Georgia tech is a gold mine for any would be traders. They've got a trading floor simulation and I was thinking about getting my graduate degree there. But just wanna test the market a bit before going back to grad school and doing what I really wanna do, trade. That's where the real money is... take $100mm and make $100mm in 1 year...

Have you done that?

On a smaller scale?

If you can consistently make 100% a year and have the trading statements to back it up, you can probably get a trading job without a degree. Doesn't matter whether you're playing with $10,000, $100,000 or $100,000,000.

You will see different rankings everywhere you look online. I think there are factors to consider that would far outweigh numerical rank for almost every student.
