Bryant ranks high in job placement

Bryant University students are in a good position to find work after graduation, according to the Princeton Review.

Its 2008 book, “Best 366 Colleges” ranks the Smithfield-based university’s Amica Center for Career Education number nine among college and university career and job placement services.

The center’s services help put “future executives … on a career fast track,” according to the book, which notes that 98.5 percent of the surveyed 2006 graduating class was employed or enrolled in a graduate program six months after commencement.

The school recently ranked 17th in the U. S. News & World Report for schools in the northern United States granting master's degrees.

The center, formerly the Office of Career Services, has more than 450 companies affiliated with its corporate recruitment program, according to director Judith Clare.

The Princeton Review's other top-10 schools for career services are University of Texas at Austin; University of Notre Dame; Pennsylvania State University-University Park; Clemson University, Sweet Briar College; Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology; Southwestern University; Smith College and Cornell University.
