<p>While searching the stats of the education of CEOs on the internet to respond to a poster in a different thread, I was shocked by the number of CEO’s without business degrees for their undergrad. History, english, and education were common (even a couple architecture students). </p>
<p>also its noteworthy of the large percentage who didn’t attend ivy league and public institutions. From a quick scan, smaller liberal arts school seemed very common. </p>
<p>my guess is that most students from public institutions tend to enroll in more professional programs (in business, perhaps gravitate to accounting and finance). so i guess that might partially explain the representation from smaller lib arts schools of CEOs. </p>
<p>has anybody else noticed this phenomenon? am i wrong when it comes to the education of CEOs?</p>
