The 2,100 survey respondents were first-and second-year female MBA students from 50 leading MBA programs who ranked various companies based on corporate culture, diversity, staff development and on-campus recruitment activities.

"Since our company was not featured on the list previously, it was the students who nominated ConAgra Foods by writing us into the survey," said Tim Jones, vice president of Talent Management, ConAgra Foods. "The ranking reflects our focus on breakthrough recruiting strategies that help us attract and retain high-potential, diverse employees."

In recent years, ConAgra Foods has become nationally known as an employer of choice for Generation Y and last year Bloomberg BusinessWeek ranked ConAgra Foods as having one of the top 40 undergraduate internship programs in the country.
