## How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Specialized Sales and Marketing graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the United States appear. The figures cover federally aided completers of Specialized Sales and Marketing programs who were working and not enrolled after completing. For 4 of the 32 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. Across the list, the gap between Saint Joseph's University - Philadelphia and Northwood University is $3,117, and the spread from top to bottom reaches $52,817.
