YU (President Sur Gil-soo) was ranked eighth in Korea for universities graduating CEOs of the top 500 companies in Korea. It was the only private university outside of the Seoul area to be ranked in the top 10.
On the 8th, the corporate management performance evaluation site, CEO Score, analyzed 464 CEOs that disclosed their educational history among 341 of the nation’s top 500 companies that submitted business reports. In result, it was found that YU graduated a total of 14 CEOs, placing it in the top 10 as the only private university outside of the Seoul area.
These results showed a drop in CEOs from the so-called ‘SKY’ universities of Seoul National University, Korea University and Yonsei University compared to the past, and it was also found that there was an increase in CEOs from universities outside of the Seoul area including YU. The number of CEOs in the top 500 companies who graduated from YU rose from 11 last year (source: CEO Score) to 14 this year.
Seoul National University was highest at 104 CEOs, followed by Korea University (53), Yonsei University (41), Hanyang University (22), and Sungkyunkwan University (18) rounding up the top five, while the remainder of the top ten were comprised of YU (14), Pusan National University and Sogang University (16 each), Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (13), and Chung Ang University (10).
Meanwhile, the business magazine New Management analyzed the ‘2018 universities of CEOS in Korea’s top 100 companies’, which ranked YU in sixth place. It was the highest ranking for all national and private universities outside of the Seoul Area. In the ‘2018 KOSDAQ CEO universities’ announced by the KOSDAQ Association, YU was ranked 7th, thus showing the YU alumni are currently leading the financial sector of Korea.
