Compare 106 Marketing. programs in the Northeast. Average earnings: $57,559.
The highest-earning Marketing program isn't at the most prestigious school. With a $49K earnings gap across 106 programs, the data confirms: program-level factors drive outcomes more than institutional brand.
University of Pennsylvania's Marketing program leads with graduates earning $117,639, well above the $57,559 average. Boston College follows at $89,379, while Lehigh delivers $85,576. These outcomes demonstrate how program-specific factors—not overall school reputation—drive career results in marketing.
High earnings don't tell the whole story—debt burden matters. University of Pennsylvania graduates borrow $15,715 and face just a 2.3% payment burden, landing in the 'Excellent' category. That means loan payments take a minimal bite out of their post-grad income.
