Compare 234 Auditing. programs in the South. Average earnings: $58,871.
The highest-earning Auditing program isn't at the most prestigious school. With a $51K earnings gap across 234 programs, the data confirms: program-level factors drive outcomes more than institutional brand. Regional schools compete directly with elite institutions in this specialized field.
Georgetown University's Auditing program leads with graduates earning $127,971, well above the $58,871 average across all programs. Washington And Lee University follows at $101,332, while Abilene Christian University delivers $91,013—demonstrating that strong outcomes aren't limited to household names.
High earnings don't tell the whole story—debt burden matters. Georgetown graduates borrow $15,500 and face just a 2.0% payment burden, landing in the 'Excellent' category. That means loan payments take a minimal bite out of their post-grad income, making the program easily affordable despite the prestigious name.
