Further analysis
At Michigan Technological University, the degree mix is heavily concentrated in engineering, with Engineering accounting for 64.5% of bachelor's degrees awarded. Computer & Information Sciences follows at 9.2%, and Engineering Technologies makes up 5.7%.
Azimuth ranks 15 programs here, evaluating four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation, with earnings data published for 19 programs. The largest single program is Mechanical Engineering, at 266 degrees awarded a year, and Azimuth ranks it #115 within its field.
Computer Science is smaller at 82 degrees awarded, but its graduates report the highest four-year earnings at $105,428. Azimuth ranks Computer Science #103 nationally and #1 in Michigan.
The spread between the largest program and the best-paid one is worth noting: Mechanical Engineering awards more than three times the degrees of Computer Science, but the median earnings in Computer Science are higher.
