Payscale rankings has Babson at #5 and median first year bachelor's degree salary is $90,600

How can this study show Babson at $61,200 for median first year salary?

does payscale only look at grads with just a bachelors?

Folks…read the thread…this is only how well the business majors do, not the overall school.

GU isn't T20 because the methodology changed 10 years ago, and again last year. Please don't be dense. And T25 is the standard anyway.


It used to be top 25, but now with a couple of state schools in the top 15, it was lowered to top 20. Can’t have too many of those after all.

I am somewhat puzzled that the Penn bachelor's in business isn't higher on the list.


It's a funky list. Penn is #1 in Finance by a large margin if you sift based on majors. The various majors shown are kind of whacky.

Business/corporate communications? Specialized sales/merchandising? Assistant services?

Just send your kid to a college that is right for your child. Enough with these ranking.


Where did you see that? for undergrad, Upenn is #25 and Vilanova is #137. What surprising is GU is actually lower than Villanova.

Schools that send large portions of their students to grad school will have lower initial earnings

William and Mary Mason has also been climbing quickly in the Poets and Quants rankings. Good to see.

PS and this is also true of their overall ROI report. It's pretty much "T20 and everything else". Though you have to be careful because the report doesn't sort by major, and some schools have artificially high earnings because tech majors are driving up the average, and this won't apply to you if you're not a tech major.

Bismark state makes sense. first, smallish sample. second is fracking.
