How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Computer Science graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Computer Science earnings cohort in the Midwest appear. The figure captures federally aided Computer Science graduates who were working and not enrolled four years after completing. For 14 of the 173 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. The range and median below cover the 161 schools with a published figure. The gap between University of Chicago and Washington University in St Louis is $1,002.
Job market context in the Midwest
Computer Science graduates in the Midwest enter occupations such as Software Developers, Computer User Support Specialists, and Computer Systems Analysts. The median annual wage across those occupations is $97,588; a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $76,799. Projected annual openings total 69,130, or about 340 openings a year for every hundred graduates, with more projected openings than graduates. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 6.0% higher. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. The ranking above uses graduate earnings four years after completing, which is a different measure from the occupational wage figures reported here.
