Michigan universities excel at developing world-class talent

http://www.metromodemedia.com/inthenews/MIuniversitiestalent0255.aspx

In a benchmark study, Michigan’s research universities prove to be world class breeding grounds for new talent, on par or out-competing with top schools around the nation. The annual report commissioned by the University Research Corridor (URC), shows the URC's member institutions - Wayne State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Michigan - remain competitive as research hubs and as economic engines when compared with university consortia across the U.S., said Jeff Mason, executive director for the URC. The report compares the performance of the best-known groups of universities in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania against the URC. Each cluster includes three universities from the same geo graphical area that were selected based upon academic quality, research intensity and size of the institution.
