Best Bang for Your Buck Ranking: Millennial Generation Site Rates UC No. 1 in Nation for ROI
According to the millennial generation news site, PolicyMic, 12 universities nationwide stand out as already meeting many of the standards that President Barack Obama is advocating in his plans for a new collegiate ranking system that takes into account relative costs, average student debt upon graduation, graduation rates, starting salaries after graduation and percentage of low-income students in attendance.
In its ranking of universities that provide students the most bang for their buck, PolicyMic named the University of Cincinnati as
for return on educational investment. The site based that No. 1 ranking on UC's graduation rate, the starting salaries of students after graduation, debt at time of graduation and percentage of low-income undergraduates: "...the university seems to offer a good return on investment with relatively high graduation rates and starting salaries for recent graduates."

April 23, 2024
Before Katie Trauth Taylor worked with international organizations like NASA, Boeing and Hershey, and before receiving accolades for her work in the generative AI space, she was in a much different industry – English and literature. Taylor earned her master's in English and Comparative Literature in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. She completed her educational journey at Purdue University with a doctorate degree in rhetoric and composition. After working as a graduate assistant at Purdue and UC, she became a research professor at Miami University. It might seem from there that her career was set—perhaps a tenured professorship or a university administrative position. That might have been her path, but Taylor had her eyes set on different goals. So how did Taylor transition from literature and composition to tech entrepreneurship? She enjoys sharing that part of her story.
