According to the Center for Business and Economic Research, business leaders in Alabama are growing increasingly optimistic about the state economy. Their confidence has been on a dramatic upswing for the past few years, which bodes well for future job-seekers: confident executives means lots of hiring opportunities.
The economic climate of the state where a student goes to college is not incidental. One of the chief factors in post-graduation success is access to professional networks. Going to school in a state with a strong business outlook is a good way to prepare for the job search.
"With multiple universities ranking among the best in country, along with many other colleges of excellent quality, Alabama is a great place to focus your college search," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "Whether you're in-state or out-of-state, looking for a public or private school, Alabama has something for you."
College Choice developed its list by looking at academic quality, student body diversity, and return on investment—the differential between tuition costs and average early career earnings.
