The college with the highest-earning graduates in every US state
Columbia University has the highest-earning graduates in New York.Jeenah Moon / POOL / AFPThe college you attend can affect how much you earn after graduation.The Department of Education's College Scorecard tracks former students' earnings by school.Business Insider listed the US colleges with the highest-earning graduates in every state.At some schools, investing in higher education pays off more than in others.Business Insider recently identified the 34 US colleges with the highest-paid graduates. four years after completing their degrees across all US states, based on Department of Education data.To map earnings across state lines, we went a step further and used the same data to identify which colleges have the highest-earning graduates in every US state.The department's College Scorecard outlines net college costs, student debt, completion rates, and earnings outcomes across US colleges and universities for the 13 million students receiving Title IV federal aid. (According to the department's latest data, approximately yüzde 55 of undergraduate students in the 2019-2020 school year received some form of federal financial aid.)Using the College Scorecard's median annual earnings data, which measures how much former federal-aid-receiving students earn four years after completing their degrees, we identified the colleges with the highest-earning graduates in each state.For this list, which features a range of schools from smaller specialized programs to large universities, we focused on public or private nonprofit four-year schools. We also included the location and the most popular majors at each school — as reported by Niche for each institution — which can often significantly affect graduates' earnings.Like most college ranking methodologies, the list has caveats: The earnings data applies only to former federal-aid recipients, and specialized schools may be more likely to top some states because graduates in certain fields tend to earn more. Still, it helps map the big picture of college graduates' earnings across the US.See which school had the top-earning federally aided graduates in your state.ALABAMA: University of Alabama in HuntsvilleChrisBoswell/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Nursing, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and computer scienceMedian earnings four years after graduation: $81,000ALASKA: University of Alaska AnchorageJacob Boomsma/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Mechanic and repair technologies, nursing, psychology, business management, and administrationMedian earnings four years after graduation: $69,000ARIZONA: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in PrescottAutumnSkyPhotography/Getty ImagesTop majors: Aeronautics, aviation technology, and aerospace engineeringMedian earnings four years after graduation: $94,000ARKANSAS: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rockneiu20001/Getty ImagesTop majors: Medical laboratory technician, nursing, radiation therapy, and dental hygieneMedian earnings four years after graduation: $77,000CALIFORNIA: California Institute of Technology in PasadenaKit Leong/ShutterstockTop majors: Computer science, mechanical engineering, and physicsMedian earnings four years after graduation: $153,000COLORADO: Colorado School of Mines in GoldenCharles Knowles/ShutterstockTop majors: Mechanical engineering, computer science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineeringMedian earnings four years after graduation: $100,000CONNECTICUT: Yale University in New Havenf11photo/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Economics, information science, liberal arts and humanities, history, political science and government, and cellular biologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $113,000DELAWARE: University of Delaware in NewarkKirkikis/Getty ImagesTop majors: Finance, research and experimental psychology, marketing, and nursingMedian earnings four years after graduation: $78,000FLORIDA: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona BeachJerry Ballard/Getty ImagesTop majors: Aeronautics and aviation technology, aerospace engineering, and mechanical engineeringMedian earnings four years after graduation: $94,000GEORGIA: Georgia Institute of Technology in AtlantaCRobertson/Getty ImagesTop majors: Information science, mechanical engineering,. business, and industrial engineeringMedian earnings four years after graduation: $119,000HAWAII: University of Hawaii at Manoahapabapa/Getty ImagesTop majors: Psychology, marketing, nursing, finance, kinesiology, and exercise scienceMedian earnings four years after graduation: $62,000IDAHO: Boise State University in Boiseknowlesgallery/Getty ImagesTop majors: Business, liberal arts and humanities, nursing, communications, health professions, and psychologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $65,000ILLINOIS: University of Chicagopeterspiro/Getty ImagesTop majors: Economics, computer science, mathematics, and biologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $128,000INDIANA: University of Notre Dame in Notre DameAaron Yoder/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Finance, economics, political science and government, information science, mathematics, neuroscience, and neurobiologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $101,000IOWA: Allen College in WaterlooJacob Boomsma/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: NursingMedian earnings four years after graduation: $74,000KANSAS: Baker University in Baldwin CityMatthew Fowler/Getty ImagesTop majors: Business and nursingMedian earnings four years after graduation: $70,000KENTUCKY: Thomas More University in Crestview Hillsaceshot/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Business, liberal arts and humanities, nursing, and psychologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $70,000LOUISIANA: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New OrleansRebecka Johnson/Getty ImagesTop majors: NursingMedian earnings four years after graduation: $81,000MAINE: Maine Maritime Academy in Castinetravelview/Getty ImagesTop majors: Engineering, marine science, engineering technician, and international businessMedian earnings four years after graduation: $113,000MARYLAND: Johns Hopkins University in BaltimoreMindaugas Dulinskas/Getty ImagesTop majors: Information science, cellular biology, public health, neuroscience, and neurobiologyMedian earnings four years after graduation: $117,000MASSACHUSETTS: Massachusetts Institute of Technology in CambridgeWangkun Jia/Getty Images/iStockphotoTop majors: Computer science, mathematics, and mechanical engineeringMedian earnings four years after graduation: $162,000MICHIGAN: Kettering University in FlintJames R.
