A Massachusetts college has been named one of the 'New Ivies' in Forbes' latest ranking, which identifies 20 schools—10 public and 10 private—gaining traction among employers. This year's list is based on a survey of executives who evaluated institutions not only for their academic reputation but also for how well they prepare graduates for the evolving job market shaped by artificial intelligence. Companies are increasingly looking for candidates with practical skills and relevant experience, particularly in technology fields. The ranking highlights Tufts University, known for its exceptional engineering, science, and liberal arts programs, as a leading institution with an acceptance rate of approximately 11%. Employers value the hands-on learning opportunities these colleges provide, such as internships and co-ops, which equip students with the skills needed in an AI-driven economy. As firms prioritize adaptable graduates with strong problem-solving capabilities, the 'New Ivies' are seen as reliable sources of talent.
