## How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Accounting graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Accounting earnings cohort in Texas appear. The figure reflects federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. For 1 of the 46 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The range and median below cover the 1 school with a published figure. The spread from top to bottom is $0.
