Compare 10 Entomology. programs in the Northeast. Average earnings: $35,809.
The highest-earning Entomology program isn't at the most prestigious school. With a $13K earnings gap across 10 programs, the data confirms: program-level factors drive outcomes more than institutional brand. When graduates earn between $30,241 and $43,133, program selection matters independently of school reputation.

University of New England follows at $39,370, while SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry delivers $38,347—demonstrating that specialized programs compete on outcomes, not institutional prestige.
High earnings don't tell the whole story—debt burden matters. SUNY Environmental Science graduates borrow $11,000 and face just a 9.6% payment burden, landing in the 'Good' category.
