<p>Can’t speak to the data, haven’t seen it. But, my husband went for his undergrad at Rose Hulman, graduated with a great job. Quit job and decided to go back fulltime for Master’s @ Purdue. He went back to same company, better job, after completing the Master’s. Finally, he decided to return to Purdue for Ph.D. Graduated and picked his favorite from multiple job offers. Today, as he helps interview those seeking jobs at the company he works for … he knows the quality of a purdue degree. It’s still ranked very highly in industry. But, of course, this is only anecdotal. :)</p>
