A total of 51 US universities appear in the Global University Employability Ranking 2023-24, designed by the HRÌýconsultancy Emerging and published exclusively by Times Higher Education. The ranking reveals which universities recruiters at top companies think are the best at preparing students for the workplace.

The top 10 includes many of the usual suspects –ÌýHarvard University, theÌýCalifornia Institute of TechnologyÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýStanford UniversityÌý– but alsoÌýYork University, which is not always found at the top of university rankings.

Tuition fees at US colleges vary widely, particularly for international students, so value for money arguably depends on both the cost of tuition and the likelihood that graduates will succeed in their future careers.

A number of state universities in the US, such as theÌýUniversity of California, Berkeley, which generally have lower tuition fees, do particularly well when evaluated by employers.
