## How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the Northeast appear. The figure reflects federally aided completers of the Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions program who were working and not enrolled. For 2 of the 28 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. Northeastern University leads at $81,320, with a gap of $2,559 over second-place University of Hartford, and the spread from top to bottom reaches $55,546.
