## How this list is ordered

Schools first had to sit at or above the 60th percentile on Azimuth's mobility pillar; those that qualified are ordered by the school's median earnings of all students ten years after entry, highest first, as set out on [Azimuth's methodology page](/methodology/#ranked-lists). The figure is the median earnings of all federally aided students at the institution who are working and not enrolled, measured ten years after entry. It does not adjust for cost or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The gap between University of Notre Dame and Northwestern University is $10,617, and the spread from the top of the list to the bottom is $58,388.
