How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Actuarial Science graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the Northeast appear. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing the program. It 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 24 schools with a published figure. The gap between first-ranked New York University and second-ranked University of Pennsylvania is $5,280.
