91直播视频 Ranks Among Top Three Maine Schools for Highest Starting Salary for Graduates

Among all Maine universities and colleges, the 91直播视频 ranks third for graduates earning the highest starting salary, according to a newly published study by SmartAsset, a New York-based financial technology company that uses data to provide answers to financial questions about major life decisions.

The study examined five equally-ranked factors to determine university and college standings nationwide: tuition; student living costs (including room and board, books, supplies, transportation and personal expenses); scholarship and grant offerings; retention rates; and beginning job salary after graduation.

Schools with the combined highest marks in these categories were named 鈥渂est value schools鈥 or 鈥渋nstitutions where you get the most bang for your buck,鈥 according to SmartAsset, and 91直播视频ranked among the top five for the state of Maine.

The university鈥檚 number three status for highest starting salary for graduates comes on the heels of the recent Brookings Institution rankings, which placed 91直播视频at the top of the list of Maine universities and colleges for ability to increase student career earnings.  President Ripich said, 鈥淭he administration, faculty and staff at 91直播视频have known for a long time the value this college provides not only in its education but in the kinds of good paying jobs that students are finding after they graduate.  Now, we are seeing others who monitor the health of higher education share our story as well.鈥

Most recently, the University was named a Top College by Forbes and one of the Best 380 Colleges by the Princeton Review.
