FAQ
Common questions
What is the highest-paying major?
Among 202 bachelor's fields with at least 500 graduates measured, College Scorecard's highest national median earnings five years after completing are Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, at $125,131.
Does a high-paying major guarantee high pay?
No. These are medians for past federal-aid graduates; half earned less, and individual results depend on the job, place and person.
Why do some lists show different numbers?
Many lists use job pay for all workers or self-reported surveys. Scorecard measures tax-reported earnings of a defined group of graduates at a fixed time after completing.
Method
How this page is built
Rows are College Scorecard national medians (EARN_MDN_5YR_NAT) and 25th/75th percentiles for each 4-digit CIP field and credential level, for graduates who completed in 2016-17 or 2017-18, measured in 2022 and 2023. Fields with fewer than 500 graduates measured are left out because privacy noise matters more in small groups. Nothing is averaged or estimated.
