How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Psychology, General graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the Northeast appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 12 of the 228 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The ordering 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 227 schools with a published figure. The gap between first-ranked Carnegie Mellon University and second-ranked Cornell University is $4,384.
