Check placement rates before committing to OSU

@trackmbe3 – I don’t understand your allegation that I’m making “unsubstantiated negative claims” when two reports posted on OSU.edu were cited. You and I are citing the same report on business placement. I included a page number…although after verifying again I see I was one page off and it’s actually page 21 in this report that shows 20% of US citizen graduates are seeking employment. In looking through it further, on I see there are also statistics that 85% of business majors have jobs at graduation and 91% have jobs within 3 months. Given that the non-resident job placement rate is reported on the same page as being lower, I can’t explain the discrepancy among the 3 numbers…certainly must be some scope differences. In any case though, those placement rates are definitely lower than the Miami placement rates that I shared for business majors and which are posted on the Miami website. So again, I resent the allegation that I’m making “unsubstantiated negative claims.”

I stand by my original advice that started this thread which is that before anybody commits to a college they check the placement rates. If you disagree with that advice, than we will just agree to disagree.
