Determining the specifications for integrated professional curricula requires that a cleardistinction be made between the differences of traditional research-based graduate education for academicscientific research and that of practice-based professional graduate education for technology developmentand engineering leadership of systematic innovation in industry. We believe that the characteristics thatdifferentiate these two types of graduate studies can be distinguished best by using modern

anecdotallyvalidated by many school hiring practices. Second, we did not want a school’s ranking to beimpacted by its own decisions; the ranking of a program has to be validated by decisions ofothers. Hence, we only consider the incoming edges of our hiring graph, i.e., only the Ph.D.shired by other programs impact its ranking. Third, the hiring graph is somewhat self-consistent inthe sense that we don’t need any external input in the process of ranking. For example, if we wereto consider hiring by industry, we would need to somehow have a notion of the relative value of a“Google hire” versus an “IBM hire”. Fourth, since the hiring slots tend to be few and expensive inresources, we postulate rankings based on hiring decisions are harder to “game”.There are
