I find the premise and methodology laughable:

Quote
So with the unemployment rate sitting at record lows, we took a dive for the third year in a row into what colleges have the highest rates of employment, ten years post enrollment in each state. In other words, these are the colleges in each state that set you up best for the job market.

When you use a false premise to create "research", you end up with an illuminative result of Augustana University (the Harvard of South Dakota) and freakin' Quinnipiac.

The unemployment rate is truly a fake number, on multiple levels, and the application of it then onto the success of college grads... Is just ludicrous.

Truthfully, I don't know the first thing about Augustana University, I'm sure someone's sister's friend went there and loved it but come on now. Obviously there are many factors in simply attaining any employment in some locale. Many of these factors far surpass any influence of your degree's brand recognition or training.
