Location, prestige, academic reputation and tuition are major factors for
students in the college selection process, but post-graduate salary is
something rarely taken into consideration.
Although salaries depend heavily on a graduate's field of work, companies
are willing to pay a premium for students hailing from the nation's top
universities. But which undergraduate institutions offer the most valuable
educations?
Recently, PayScale.com released a report on the highest salary potential
among the nation's top colleges, and from this data, colleges and
universities can be ranked by the mid-career median salaries of its
graduates. For schools with the same mid-career median salaries, starting
median salary determines their relative rank.
