The University of Houston is one of four Texas schools to make the top 100 on a list of universities that produce the most millionaires worldwide. Times Higher Education reports.
Data Research company WeatherInsight and business magazine Spear's compiled the list, which was dominated by U.S. schools, according to the Times report.
The University of Houston ranked No. 83. However, the University of Texas took the No. 17 spot — the 13th highest for a U.S. school. Southern Methodist University ranked No. 71, and Texas A&M Universitycame in at No. 75.
Topping the list was Harvard University.
The most popular degrees for millionaires was not very surprising — engineering, MBA, law and economic lead the pack. However, the Times reports that a Wealth Insight analyst stated, “few of these degrees turn out to be outright vocational; most engineering graduates, for example, are not engineers but entrepreneurs.”
Meanwhile, the University of Houston was also the only Houston-area school to make the Times’ recent list of schools that produced the most CEOs. Texas A&M and Southern Methodist also made that list of 100 universities worldwide.
