 YU (President Sur Gil-soo) was ranked seventh in the nation for universities that graduated the CEOs of the top 100 companies leading the Korean financial world. This is the only private university outside of the Seoul area that was placed in the top 100.
 Hankyung Business Weekly and NICE Information Service recently picked out the top 100 companies of Korea and analyzed the age and academic background of their CEOs. In result, YU was found to have graduated a total of three CEOs, placing seventh together with Sogang University and Chungang University. Seoul National University was highest with 35, followed by Korea University (15), Yonsei University (8), Sungkyunkwan University and Hanyang University (5), and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
 Meanwhile, YU was also placed eighth in the nation as the alma mater for CEOs of Korea's top 500 companies reported by CEO Score, a corporate management performance evaluation site, in April. Also in the '2017 KOSDAQ Listed Corporation CEO Survey' announced the KOSDAQ Association, YU was placed sixth in the nation for the alma mater of KOSDAQ CEOs, thus reconfirming the alumni power of YU.
