How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their English graduates four years after completing, or two years for programs that report only a two-year figure, highest first. The figure reflects federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled after completing. For 25 of the 193 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 184 schools with a reported completion median. The gap between first-ranked College of the Holy Cross and second-ranked Lehigh University is $2,740.
