The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Harvard produced the most graduates who were CEOs at their time of their companies’ market debuts in 2014, according to Equilar, an executive compensation data firm.
Only companies that raised over $100 million through their initial public offerings (IPOs) are included in the data. The list includes both undergraduate and graduate institutions.
Harvard has led the rankings for three straight years. The schools that produced two or more CEOs that went on to lead on IPO are Harvard, 7; Columbia, 3; Stanford University, 3; Texas Tech University, 3; University of North Carolina, 3; George Washington University, 2; Miami University of Ohio, 2; Michigan State University, 2; Northwestern University, 2; Pennsylvania State University, 2; Texas A&M University, 2; State University of New York at Albany, 2; Villanova University, 2; and University of Pennsylvania, 2.
A further 70 schools produced one CEO each.
