It Takes More than a Major: Employer Priorities for College
Learning and
Student Success: Overview and Key Findings
A 2013 Na�onal Survey of Business and Non Profit Leaders
See 2015 Employer Survey Data
Especially since the recent economic downturn and in light of
the increasingly compe��ve global economy, employers
express concerns about
whether the U.S. is producing enough college graduates and
whether they have the skills, knowledge, and personal
responsibility to contribute to a
changing workplace and help companies and organiza�ons
succeed and grow. This report provides a detailed analysis of
employers’ priori�es for
the kinds of learning today’s college students need to succeed in
this innova�on-fueled economy. It also reports on changes in
educa�onal and
assessment prac�ces that employers recommend.
This report is part of a series on surveys and focus groups that
the Associa�on of American Colleges and Universi�es
(AAC&U) has commissioned
since 2005, when it began its na�onal ini�a�ve, Liberal

Educa�on and America’s Promise (LEAP). These employer and
civic leader studies have
informed the work of hundreds of colleges and universi�es and
state systems as they seek to develop strong curricula and
educa�onal prac�ces
that will be�er prepare today’s students for success as workers
and ci�zens in the 21 century.
Innova�on a Priority
Nearly all employers surveyed (95 percent) say they give hiring
preference to college graduates with skills that will enable them
to contribute
to innova�on in the workplace.
92 percent agree that “innova�on is essen�al” to their
organiza�on’s con�nued success.
Cross-Cu�ng Capaci�es vs. Choice of Undergraduate Major
Nearly all those surveyed (93 percent) say that “a demonstrated
capacity to think cri�cally, communicate clearly, and solve
complex
problems is more important than [a candidate’s] undergraduate
major.”
More than 9 in 10 of those surveyed say it is important that
those they hire demonstrate ethical judgment and integrity;
intercultural skills;
and the capacity for con�nued new learning.
More than 75% of employers say they want more emphasis on 5
key areas including: cri�cal thinking, complex problem-
solving, wri�en and
oral communica�on, and applied knowledge in real-world
se�ngs.

Employers endorse several educa�onal prac�ces as poten�ally
helpful in preparing college students for workplace success.
These include
prac�ces that require students to a) conduct research and use
evidence-based analysis; b) gain in-depth knowledge in the
major and
analy�c, problem solving and communica�on skills; and c)
apply their learning in real-world se�ngs.
Con�nued Importance of Liberal Educa�on and the Liberal
Arts
The majority of employers agree that having both field-specific
knowledge and skills and a broad range of skills and knowledge
is most
important for recent college graduates to achieve long-term
career success. Few think that having field-specific knowledge
and skills alone is
what is most needed for individuals’ career success.
80 percent of employers agree that, regardless of their major, all
college students should acquire broad knowledge in the liberal
arts and
sciences.
When read a descrip�on of a 21 -century liberal educa�on*, a
large majority of employers recognize its importance; 74
percent would
recommend this kind of educa�on to a young person they know
as the best way to prepare for success in today’s global
economy.
Assessment of Prepara�on for Entry-Level Posi�ons and for
Advancement

A majority of employers (56 percent) express sa�sfac�on with
the job colleges and universi�es are doing to prepare graduates
for success in
the workplace, but more than two in five indicate room for
improvement.
Two in three employers believe most college graduates have the
skills and knowledge they need to succeed in entry-level
posi�ons, but only
44 percent believe they have what is required for advancement
and promo�on to higher levels.

ummary 2/3

Across many areas tested, employers strongly endorse
educa�onal prac�ces that involve students in ac�ve, effor�ul
work—prac�ces
including collabora�ve problem-solving, internships, senior
projects, and community engagements. Employers consistently
rank outcomes
and prac�ces that involve applica�on of skills over acquisi�on
of discrete bodies of knowledge. Employers also strongly
endorse prac�ces
that require students to demonstrate both acquisi�on of
knowledge and its applica�on.
E-por�olios and Partnerships to Ensure College Graduates’
Successful Transi�on to the Workplace
In addi�on to a resume or college transcript, more than 4 in 5
employers say an electronic por�olio would be useful to them
in ensuring that
job applicants have the knowledge and skills they need to
succeed in their company or organiza�on.
Business and non-profit leaders are highly interested in
partnering with colleges and universi�es to provide more
hands-on learning
opportuni�es and to help college students successfully make the
transi�on from college into the workplace.
*Defini�on of liberal educa�on provided in this survey: “This
approach to a college educa�on provides both broad knowledge
in a variety of areas of
study and knowledge in a specific major or field of interest. It
also helps students develop a sense of social responsibility, as
well as intellectual and
prac�cal skills that span all areas of study, such as
communica�on, analy�cal, and problem-solving skills, and a

demonstrated ability to apply
knowledge and skills in real-world se�ngs.
Methodology
From January 9 to 13, 2013, Hart Research Associates
conducted an online survey among 318 employers whose
organiza�ons have at least 25
employees and report that 25% or more of their new hires hold
either an associate degree from a two-year college or a
bachelor’s degree from a
four-year college. Respondents are execu�ves at private sector
and nonprofit organiza�ons, including owners, CEOs,
presidents, C-suite level
execu�ves, and vice presidents.

In my study of successful people, the one thing they all seem to
have in common is a passion
and dedication for reading. Below are three firsthand accounts
from highly influential people
highlighting the importance of reading.
1 . W A R R E N B U F F E T T A N D C H A R L I E M U
N G E R
I group these two together because of the extent to which they
share the same
ideologies. The duo is legendary for their longstanding business
and investing prowess

through investments at Berkshire Hathaway, which has
consistently outperformed the market
since its inception.
The result has spawned an army of devoted followers and has
earned Bu�ett and Munger
titles of two of the richest men on the planet. As a testament to
their influence, thousands of
people fly in from across the world to spend just a day listening
to Bu�ett and Munger speak
at their annual shareholder’s meeting.
So when Bu�ett or Munger give advice, we should listen. The
two largely share the same
philosophies on best business practices and investment styles,
and they also happen to
agree on the same method for success. In a 2007
commencement speech given at the USC
School of Law, Charlie Munger said:
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest,
sometimes not even the most
diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every
night a little wiser than they
were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when
you have a long run

ahead of you.
He goes on to reference Bu�ett as an example of such a
learning machine:
https://medium.com/@TheGaryWu/how-to-stand-out-from-the-
crowd-b1dfceb76914
If you watched Warren Bu�ett with a time clock, I would say
half of all the time he spends
is just sitting on his ass and reading. And a big chunk of the rest
of the time is spent
talking on the phone or personally with people he trusts.
Bu�ett echoes his partner’s sentiments. When asked how to get
smarter at a conference, he
held up a stack of papers and said:
Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge
works. It builds up, like

compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not
many of you will.
2 . M A R K C U B A N
Mark Cuban seems to achieve success in every industry he
enters, whether it’s business,
entertainment, technology, investing or sports. He started and
sold his first business, Micro
Solution
s (a systems integrator and software reseller), despite never
having formally studied
technology or software. How did he do it?
The reason, according to Cuban, is that reading gave him the
competitive advantage to
succeed where others couldn’t, and this applies to all endeavors.
As he explains in his book,
"How to Win at the Sport of Business,"

I read every book and magazine I could. Heck, three bucks for a
magazine, twenty bucks
for a book. One good idea would lead to a customer or a
solution, and those magazines
and books paid for themselves many times over. Some of the
ideas I read were good,
some not. In doing all the reading I learned a valuable lesson.
Most people won’t put in
the time to get a knowledge advantage. Sure, there were folks
that worked hard at picking
up every bit of information that they could, but we were few
and far between. To this day, I

feel like if I put in enough time consuming all the information
available, particularly with
the Internet making it so readily accessible, I can get an
advantage in any technology
business
3 . M A L C O L M X
Perhaps the most inspirational example of the importance of
reading comes from the life story
of Malcolm X. He dropped out of school upon completing the
8th grade, disgusted with the
educational system after a white teacher at the school had
discouraged him in his dream of

becoming a lawyer.
Out of school, Malcolm X eventually entered into the world of
drug dealing and pimping in
Harlem at age 18, then got into larger robberies and was
arrested and incarcerated for
larceny at age 20.
However, Malcolm X began to turn his life around during his
time in prison, partly through his
conversion to Islam, but more so through a fellow inmate who
inspired in him a serious
passion for reading. He writes in his autobiography:
In every free moment I had, if I was not reading in the library, I
was reading on my bunk.
You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge [...] In
fact, up until then, I had
never been so truly free in my life [...] My homemade education

gave me, with every
additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the
deafness, dumbness and
blindness that was a�icting the black race in America. Not long
ago, an English writer
telephoned my from London, asking questions. One was,
‘What’s your alma mater?’ I told
him, ‘Books.’ You will never catch me with a free fifteen
minutes in which I’m not studying
something...

These three people worked or continue to work in a range of
fields spanning business,
investing, technology, politics, public speaking, civil rights and
leadership.
They lived or live through di�erent periods of time with
di�erent purposes and missions in
life. Yet the common link among them is their a�nity for
reading and their accreditation of
success to that key trait.
The takeaway is, regardless of your endeavor, your current
situation, your upbringing, or the
path you wish to take in life, reading is the key to upward
mobility. It may not guarantee
success, but it surely increases the chances of it.

Fortunately, the amount of time we spend reading is entirely
within our control, so get to it.
