How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by Azimuth's mobility pillar for the Midwest, highest first. The pillar measures historical low-income earnings relative to peers, the scale of Pell enrollment and Pell completion, as set out on Azimuth's methodology page. The earnings figures cited below are the median earnings of each institution's federally aided completers across all fields, measured four years after completing, among those working and not enrolled. The list does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The page includes 116 public and 275 private nonprofit institutions.
