## How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Education graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Education earnings cohort in Ohio appear. The figure is the median earnings of federally aided Education completers who were working and not enrolled, measured four years after completing. For 6 of the 40 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 31 schools with a published figure. Denison University leads Ohio State University-Main Campus by a gap of $16,313.

## Job market context in Ohio

The occupations linked to Education in Ohio include roles such as Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, Secondary School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education, and Middle School Teachers, Except Special and Career/Technical Education. The median annual wage across those occupations is $75,240, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $58,191. The state projects about 17,490 openings a year, or about 402 openings a year for every hundred graduates, with more projected openings than graduates. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 0.0% 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 described here.
