## How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Chiropractic graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in Pennsylvania appear. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing their Chiropractic program. It does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost of attendance, or the characteristics of the students who enroll, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. Marywood University and King's College hold the top two positions on this list.
