Where does Georgia turn for most of its top executives? According to Standard & Poor's, that place is Georgia State University and the J. Mack Robinson College of Business.

In S&P's report listing of 1,600 top executives with Georgia companies, more executives with master's degrees or MBAs come from Georgia State than from any other institution in the nation. The top 10 include the following:

Educational Institution	Atlanta S&P Executives with Advanced Degrees
Georgia State	79
Harvard	59
UGA	47
Emory	30
Virginia	23
Georgia Tech	14
Duke	13
Wharton	11
UNC	11
Stanford	11
Michigan	9
Northwestern	8

Buck Associates, an Atlanta consulting firm, was the first to make schools aware of the list about five years ago, at which time Georgia State also ranked first but by a much narrower margin (59-58 over Harvard) than in the most recent report.
