How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by Azimuth's return pillar for the Midwest, highest first. The pillar measures four-year earnings, modeled value added and program earnings relative to national benchmarks, as set out on Azimuth's methodology page. The earnings figures are medians for federally aided completers of each institution across all fields, measured four years after completing, among those working and not enrolled. The list does not measure teaching quality. University of Chicago ranks 1st on this page with median earnings of $127,757 for its graduates four years after completing, while University of Michigan-Ann Arbor follows at 2nd with median earnings of $96,159 four years after completing.
