How this list is ordered
Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Biomechanics graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the United States appear. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 4 of the 53 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 range and median below cover the 53 schools with a published figure. The gap between first-ranked Nova Southeastern University and second-ranked George Washington University is $41,261.
