As many high school students are beginning the arduous process of filing college applications, Business Insider has published a handy list…of the top 20 universities around the world that produce the most employable graduates.

The good news: Eight of those schools are in the United States.

The bad news: Many of those schools are featured on this site for progressive policies, sexual scholarship, and unique professorial opinions.

Recruiters and senior executives say that the University of Oxford produces the most employable graduates, according to a new survey.

The “Global Employability Survey” — conducted by French education consulting firm Emerging and German market research firm Trendence — asks employers to describe their ideal university graduate and what schools would best produce this person.

Of those surveyed, 21.8% said an applicant’s university was the most important point when reviewing them for a job, and 45.1% percent said it was an important factor, The New York Times reports.

According to The Times, although the top of the ranking is composed of traditional academic powerhouses, this year’s list highlights “institutions that focus on providing graduates with a broad skill set are winning more recognition, irrespective of their country or region.”
