Hmmm, PaulJones is actually correct. What employers look for in 95% of all hiring is that the program that the individual graduated from is accredited by a reputable accreditor such as ABET, ACPE, and AACSB. These in turn have to be recognized by CHEA (Council for Higher Education Accreditation) and then the University (if it is composed of several colleges) must be itself accredited by a regional accreditor such as SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) or NWCCU (Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities). There are some national accreditation organizations but they are specialized in areas such as Health Sciences, or Liberal Arts.
The area where a going to a certain school can help is in the alumni connections – that is where places like Harvard, Yale, Texas A&M, and other “good” schools can be an advantage. But beware; even these schools can have courses of study that are not accredited.
In other words, go to a school that is accredited in the field of study you love and you will do fine.
