Harvard and Cornell universities took the first and second spots, respectively. Another ranking from the United Kingdom’s Times of Higher Education placed Penn seventh on a list that compared universities from around the world by how many top executives have graduated from their institution. The other American universities in the top 10 on that list were Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
