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 Northeast appear. The figure captures federally aided Computer Science graduates who were working and not enrolled four years after completing. For 15 of the 185 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. Carnegie Mellon University leads Massachusetts Institute of Technology by $20,252, and the spread from top to bottom reaches $208,719.

Job market context in the Northeast

Computer Science graduates in the Northeast enter a labor market linked to occupations such as Software Developers, Computer User Support Specialists, and Computer Systems Analysts. The median annual wage across those occupations is $116,119, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $89,627. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 4.4% higher, with about 269 openings a year for every hundred graduates, meaning more projected openings than graduates. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. The ranking above uses the median earnings of graduates four years after completing, a different measure from the occupational wage figures reported here.
