New England Colleges With The Highest Paid Grads
Two Rhode Island schools rank among the top 25 in New England based on salaries of recent graduates. Brown University came in at #10 on www.CollegeMeasures.org’s list of colleges with the highest median starting pay for graduates, the lowest of the four New England-area Ivy League schools. Smithfield’s Bryant University also cracked the top 20 in New England, coming in at #18. Maine was the only New England state without a college/university in the top 25, while Rhode Island and Vermont could each claim two. Massachusetts tops the list with 12 while second place Connecticut hosts 7.
The site’s ranking of the top 25 colleges in New England by virtue of the median starting salary for graduates is just one of more than 20 ways to rank, examine and list schools across the country. Rather unsurprisingly, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) holds the top ranking, with a median starting salary of nearly $70,000. CollegeMeasures.org also accounts for the cost per degree, which is a measure of spending on direct educational costs per degree (in contrast to cost per student enrolled); education and related expenses (for all students) are divided by all degrees awarded in the same year. Each schools' average annual student loan payment and ratio of student loan payments to earnings, are among other data sets.
