Top Colleges for High-Paying Jobs

We partnered with the Wall Street Journal to release a report premised on a simple question: which schools give their graduates the greatest chance of earning the most in a given career area? Based on the education and career histories of over 3 million workers, we measure what workers in each of our selected fields earn over the first ten years of their career, and identify the undergraduate institutions whose graduates go on to earn the most. Select a career area and a school type in the drop down menus below to view our evaluations of the 20 top performing colleges for both public and private institutions.
