LSU is really third if you don't count Vandy due to them being private, and tuition being a lot more than any other school on this list. Very surprised to see Georgia behind LSU in both categories.

With the exception of a couple of outliers (Vandy for one, obviously), I'd say this is more indicative of the average income of those states/areas than it is of the universities themselves. Most people stick around the same area they grew up for college/work.

Wonder if ours will rise with more out of state students coming in
Those kids don’t stay in state after graduating

I don’t think that’s starting salary, I think it’s with a couple years of experience.

I think you’re right, I’ll edit

it's pretty clear in the link that it's median salary for people with 0-5 yrs experience.

How the frick do they know how much their graduates earn? They've never asked me.

If you don't count Universities with ampersands and those that end in -orida, then LSU is first!

If you work for a major employer that partners with the university...they are likely reporting salary data (names & personal information redacted) back to the universities.

How much of this gets explained solely by geographic location of graduates? LSU getting a bump sending people to Houston and Dallas versus staying in LA. Same with A&M.
