Pitt ranked 18th for producing tech leaders
Pitt is 18th in the nation among “Tech’s 29 Most Powerful Colleges,” according to a new ranking by the web site The Daily Beast, produced by former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor Tina Brown.
For the ranking, The Daily Beast researched the leadership of more than 100 tech companies — including all those among the Fortune 500 plus start-ups in the TechCrunch 50 list and the tech category of Technology Review’s Most Innovative Companies list. According to The Daily Beast, the web site then “analyzed the biographies of the companies’ CEOs and other top executives … to tabulate their undergraduate alma maters. … Schools that produced multiple executives in our universe of companies made the first cut in our analysis.”
According to the article, “Our goal was to identify which colleges … have turned out the most undergraduates destined for high-tech greatness.”
