  I knew the naval academy was near top the list before opening this thread.

  I've never even heard of some of those schools.

  Don't people just go there so they can get student loans to pay for their weed?

  Marietta College was #1 for Engineering degrees. Average starting salary for Petroleum Engineers leaving the program: $89k.

  I went to one of these schools for a year and hated it. It was very overrated and had big East Coast/West Coast Bias.
  
  Anyone want to guess which one???
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  It was #13.
  
  This article should do a cost analysis of salary vs cost/amount of student loans needed to show the real story. I had double the student loans for one year there vs 3 years at a state school.

  According to latest NPR report, Petro engineers avg salary is $120k. Marietta is below this mark.

  Where do you see that Marietta is #1?

  Doesn't have it listed in the top 5 for any of the categories.

  Whenever I see Marietta mentioned, I just LOL.
  
  I am sure J_crazy and the one other marietta engineer grad brought that average salary to 89k.

  Your graph is all people with that major, I think he was talking first year out of college making $89k.
  
  Nuclear Engineering is even higher than Petroleum, but it is such a narrow field that it isn't on the list.
  
  I almost took a job as a nuclear engineer once (they were going to accept my combined degrees and experience as equivalent), but decided against it. It wasn't as interesting as what I do now to be (but the money was definitely better at the time).

  To be fair, MC's numbers are skewed due to really only having Petrol Eng while all the others have to average in Mech and Civ Eng that are lower paid than Petrol, Chem, Nuclear, Aero, and Elec.
• Sonofanump

  I thought the Dakota school of Mines would be atop that list.
• Gardens35

  I strongly agree with the list.
• thavoice

  University of Phoenix must be 17th.

  No B1G schools? List is a joke.

  Well had ti to make fair, otherwise it would just be a list of the B1G schools. As Sleeper will tell you, avg starting salary for an OSU performing Art grad is elevtythreeve fidy K a yr. Don't even want to know what their engineers are pulling. It's like Detroit tigers numbers, have you seen that line up?

  No University of Akron makes this list a sham. Only ~30% of students who begin their collegiate career at UA graduate within 6 years. Therefore, only the best and brightest students can handle the rigorous coursework and get their degree from the elite Northeast Ohio institution of higher education.
