Do you want to know top colleges in USA that pays top Salaries? There is a new report that lists Top Colleges based on Salary.

Before going into the report, lets look at mindset of students (International) when they plan to study in USA.

Typically, most of  the students don’t plan beyond Graduate School.

Top 3 priorities for student planning to study in USA

  • Good Universities for my Profile
  • Can I financial Aid
  • Can I get visa
  • Can I get job after completing Grad School from this school.

But, unfortunately, most students don’t put in enough research into future pay scale. Even though salary is subjective, you have to think about Salary and impact of colleges on the Salary.

Top Colleges for Top Salaries

Smart Money published a report on colleges where students earn the most based on following criteria

Recent grads (out of school for an average of three years) and midcareer types (an average of 15 years out). For each group, we divided the median alumnus salary by tuition and fees (assuming they paid full price at then-current rates), averaged the results and, finally, converted that result to a percentage figure.

The outcome: a measure of return on investment that we’ve dubbed the Payback Score. For example, a hypothetical alum who spent $100,000 to attend college and now earns $150,000 a year would have a personal score of 150.

Georgia Tech tops the list of colleges where grads earn a lot of money, followed by University of Florida.

Lets look at the Top Colleges in details.
