How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Biomedical/Medical Engineering graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in Massachusetts appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing the program. It does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or differences in who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The spread from top to bottom is $23,900, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology reporting $111,738 and Wentworth Institute of Technology reporting $99,617.
