How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Education graduates four years after completing, or two years for programs that report only a two-year figure, highest first. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled after completing. For 31 of the 171 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 figures cited on this page cover the 142 schools with a reported completion median. The spread from Wagner College to College of Staten Island CUNY is $55,326.
