[quote=Anonymous]The focus on LACs is misplaced if you are looking at career earnings and ROI. Size per se is not a major factor. Harvey Mudd has 900 undergraduates but has a 40 year NPV (income - cost with time factored in) of $1.851M. That is higher than Penn, Yale, Columbia, Duke, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, etc. What matters most through near to mid-term in particular is choice of major. Engineering majors in particular earn more than the average major during this period. (Over their entire career, engineers make over 1.5X as much as the average and it can be higher depending on on specialty See chart in https://www.businessinsider.com/college-majors-biggest-lifetime-earnings-2014-9 .) Harvey Mudd has a very high percentage of STEM majors. [/quote]
