As the costs of higher education continue to skyrocket, many applicants are factoring job placement into their college decisions.


Payscale, a salary-information company, ranked the starting and mid-career salaries of graduates of American colleges and universities. To be included in the study, participants must have received a Bachelor’s degree from their associated school and currently work in the United States.


We’ve featured the New England schools on Payscale’s top 100 list. Each slide compares the ranking with another Payscale study, which looks at the 30-year net return on college investments.
