I would never rely upon some pseudo-empirical analysis from mass-media for my conclusions, it's antiquated and makes comparisons based upon numbers that can be fudged and/or rankings based upon opinion, not hard measurement. Do you have the underpinning data set of what all of that is based on; qualitative or quantitative?

Like I said before, the real criteria is job creation, startup/business formation, grad school placement. Real measures of economic vitality, not whether your Social Sciences department is ranked 78th or 94th.

There simply isn't a comparison in my field when I compare the two schools. When I see Utah resumes, I discount them heavily and Y grads are far better comported for professional life.

Do a quick LinkedIn analytics report around Y and U grads, it will open your eyes.
