How to use this ranking.

Compare earnings with what a college charges and what students borrow. Look up earnings for your intended major if you can, since the college-wide figure mixes every subject.

What the rank does not tell you.

High earnings often reflect the subjects a college teaches, such as engineering or finance, and who enrolls. These figures describe past students and do not predict your salary or show what the college caused.

Spike ranks the colleges in its guide, not every college in America. Read the full method and its limits, or compare colleges by your own priorities.

What Spike does with this

A ranking is where to start looking.

Spike checks each college against your grades, budget and goals. Then it helps you build a list that holds up.
