How this list is ordered

The figures are medians for federally aided Chemistry completers who were working and not enrolled. For 3 of the 9 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. Florida State University leads University of South Florida by $6,782, and the spread from the top to the bottom of the list is $53,022.
