Program choice matters sharply at Tulane University of Louisiana, where the named fields span markedly different median earnings four years after completion. Finance sits at the higher end, with median earnings of $129,850 and 249 degrees awarded. Computer Science also reports $118,931 in median earnings, across 36 degrees awarded. Biomedical Engineering recorded median earnings of $112,914 four years after completion and 32 degrees awarded. At a more moderate earnings level, Psychology had median earnings of $60,260 and 251 degrees awarded.
