Compare 34 Anatomy. programs ranked by graduate earnings. Average earnings: $50,170. Top programs: $72,902+.
The highest-earning Anatomy program isn't at the most prestigious school. With a $24K earnings gap across 34 programs, the data confirms: program-level factors drive outcomes more than institutional brand.
Duke University's Anatomy program leads with graduates earning $72,902, well above the $50,170 average. But Tulane University of Louisiana follows closely at $70,503, while the University of Connecticut delivers $70,038—demonstrating that program excellence extends beyond traditional hierarchies.
High earnings don't tell the whole story—debt burden matters. Duke graduates borrow $13,000 and face just a 3.5% payment burden, landing in the 'Excellent' category. That means loan payments take a minimal bite out of their post-grad income, making the program both high-earning and easily affordable.
