Coe leaps eight spots on The Princeton Review’s 2019 Top 25 Best Schools for Internships list
Top 25 Best Schools for Internships
For the second year in a row, Coe College has been named a Best Value College by The Princeton Review and is included in its Top 25 Best Schools for Internships list. This year, Coe isn’t just in the top 25 — it’s in the top 15 and remains the only Iowa school on the list. Coe advanced from its previous rank of 23 in 2018 to a current rank of 15.
The Princeton Review credits Coe’s location in a thriving metropolitan area, the Center for Creativity & Careers and its career and graduate school placement as catalysts for inclusion in this prestigious ranking.
Nestled in the heart of Cedar Rapids, one of America’s most prosperous Midwest cities, Coe students benefit from the lowest unemployment rate for college graduates in the nation. Cedar Rapids offers numerous internship opportunities with local Fortune 500 companies and has been named a “Best City for New Grads.”
The Center for Creativity & Careers connects students to Coe’s business partners and successful alumni located in the Cedar Rapids corridor and beyond. Google, Corning Incorporated, Mayo Clinic and the Chicago Board of Trade are just a few of the businesses routinely reserving internships for Coe students.
Coe students find success after graduation — year after year, nearly 100 percent of reporting graduates are employed or in graduate school within one year.
“I am pleased that Coe continues to receive recognition as a national leader in postsecondary education through inclusion in The Princeton Review’s ‘Best Value Colleges’ and Top 25 Schools for Internships,” Coe College President David McInally said. “We are especially pleased that our internship program has been highlighted as one of the nation's best, and we're grateful to our community and business partners, who have helped make Coe's Center for Creativity & Careers one of the most innovative career programs found anywhere."
Coe College offers superb academics and exciting co-curricular activities in a thriving urban setting that promotes student growth and success. Established in 1851, Coe has a national reputation for academic excellence enhanced by a student-centered, highly supportive campus environment.
