On behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, Hart Research Associates conducted a survey among 318 executives at private sector and non-profit organisations and released a new report entitled "It Takes More Than a Major: Employer Priorities for College Learning and Student Success". According to the results of the survey, business leaders value their newly hired employees’ non-cognitive skills (e.g. team work, innovation, communication and problem-solving skills) more than their undergraduate majors.
