How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Arts and Entertainment Management graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the Northeast appear. The median reflects federally aided completers of the Arts and Entertainment Management program who were working and not enrolled four years after completing. For 1 of the 14 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 New School reports $74,936, which is $9,563 above the $65,373 posted by second-ranked Wagner College.
