Colleges & Universities University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign

<p>these two business schools are ranked pretty similarly overall and some majors are better at one school vs the other but for the most part they are ranked about the same</p>

<p>Is there a reason uiuc has a starting salary for business around 57,000 and uw madison has it’s around 52,000? Is this because uiuc is 5,000 better than uw madison, or is it because uiuc has more grads going to chicago where they pay people more? if it’s the second one, does that mean it’s relatively not as easy to get a job in chicago from uw madison vs uiuc if thats where you wanted to work? </p>

<p>Probably because more UIUC grads going to Chicago. </p>

<p>But in all seriousness, I think it is a bit of both…I know that for Computer Science, the starting salary is dramatically larger than some schools, because CS @ UIUC sends a lot of students to San Francisco. But at the same time, this is because the cs program is very well acclaimed and this would also give them better shots anywhere, Chicago or wherever. Though, for your case I think it seems more Chicago. Both are good schools and your ability to get a job at that point is based on your 4 years at the university.</p>
