Our @UMKines grads have the highest median earnings among the Big Ten programs in this NYT analysis of I.R.S. data: $79,411 vs. $64,500 for all majors. The data cover 2017-19 grads, and the School has grown a lot since. Go Blue! nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

A College-by-College Guide to Which Majors Pay Off — or Don’t

College is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. We built a tool to compare the earnings of all available majors in a federal data set at nearly every school.
