2022 Best Colleges for a Master’s Degree by Salary Score
Graduate school can be an expensive investment that many students end up paying off for years to come. According to NCES data from 2016, 60% of master's graduates took out student loans to pay for their degrees. Many of these students are borrowing on top of what they already owe for their undergraduate education.
Prospective students need to know how much they can expect to earn after graduation to make informed decisions about where they go to school and what degree they pursue. That's why we evaluate schools based on alumni salaries by major.
We evaluated graduate schools based on median earnings for master's alumni to find out which have the highest salary outcomes across programs. This list highlights schools whose graduates earn the highest starting salaries for their major, no matter what they studied.
Our other rankings offer insights on the best colleges and online schools for a bachelor's degree based on alumni starting salaries by major.
Jump to takeawaysKey Insights:
- More than half of the top 50 schools for a master's degree are public universities
- Only five Ivy Leagues make the top 50 graduate schools
- Non-profit schools overwhelmingly have the best salary outcomes for master's graduates
- New York and California schools dominate the list, due in part to higher costs of living and more universities per capita in these areas
