Top 4 Colleges Whose Graduates Earn the Most Money
Who says college isn’t worth it? Graduates of each of these 4 small colleges can look forward to cashing in when they hit the job market.
Amherst College: Amherst, Massachusetts
Average earnings: $82,000
Harvard may be the more selective and well-known university in the state, but it’s Amherst College’s graduates who are pulling in the salary. It’s known as one of the “Little Ivies”. Despite Amherst’s tiny size (2,000 undergraduates in total), its alumni (校友) network is well-connected and involved with the student body, which helps explain why graduates get top job opportunities.
Lafayette College: Easton, Pennsylvania
Average earnings: $81,000
Another Little Ivy, Lafayette College graduates about the same number of students as Amherst each year. Those graduates make nearly as much as Amherst graduates based on Zippia’s research. It’s entirely possible that Lafayette’s success in getting its graduates good jobs is that it’s one of the few liberal arts (文科) colleges of its size that also offer its students engineering degrees.
Helene Fuld College of Nursing: New York, NY
Average earnings: $79,300
Nurses are in very high demand, according to Indeed, and that demand is expected to remain strong. This contributes to the high pay offered to this nursing school’s graduates. So does its location in New York City, where salaries (and the cost of living) are higher.
Bates College: Lewiston, Maine
Average earnings: $75,700
Another small liberal arts college — and Little Ivy — Bates offers, among other things, a small teacher-to-student rate. It is also noted that Bates has one of the most beautiful campuses around, helping draw a highly driven student body.
