How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Risk Management graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in Kentucky appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 1 of the 12 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. Thomas More University leads Eastern Kentucky University by $14,657, and the spread from the top of the list to the bottom reaches $47,632.
