Compare 69 Auditing. programs in the West. Average earnings: $69,095.
The highest-earning Auditing program isn't at the most prestigious school. With a $24K earnings gap across 69 programs, the data confirms: program-level factors drive outcomes more than institutional brand.
Santa Clara University's Auditing program leads with graduates earning $101,411, well above the $69,095 average. University Of San Francisco follows at $92,299, while Menlo College rounds out the top three at $92,161. These outcomes reflect program quality over school recognition.
High earnings don't tell the whole story—debt burden matters. Brigham Young University graduates borrow $11,069 and face just a 2.4% payment burden, landing in the 'Excellent' category. That means loan payments take a minimal bite out of their post-grad income.
