How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Biology, General graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the South appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 41 of the 309 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 308 schools with a published figure. Duke University leads at $83,192, just $139 ahead of Auburn University at $83,053, while the spread from top to bottom reaches $67,023.
