Our economic score ranks programs based on a combination of payback and EarningsPlus. Lower scores are better. Check our methodology page for details and data sources.
Median earnings of all students 4 years after graduating.
EarningsPlus compares student earnings after college against a benchmark of all students with the same graduate degree, adjusting for the in-state / out-of-state composition of the student body.
Schools are assigned a value from 1-100, where 100 is best for students from households earning up to $30,000. This value is multiplied by the percentage of the school’s student body that received a Pell Grant, to calculate the economic mobility score. A higher score is better. Read the full explanation
The percentage of a school’s student body that has received a Pell Grant.
Payback measures how long it takes the average student to pay back the total cost of attending college with marginal earnings. Marginal earnings are the difference between what the average student would have earned before attending college and what they earn afterwards.
Graduation rates below the school’s state average are shown in red. Schools with graduation rates in the bottom 25% nationally (49%) are not displayed.
The median net cost of students who receive federal financial aid. This is lower than the price advertised by the school.
The total debt accrued by the median student at the time of graduation.
The debt-to-earnings ratio is calculated by dividing student debt upon graduation by the annual salary. A debt to earnings ratio of 1 means that annual educational debt is the same as annual earnings.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a large private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As one of the first institutions for science and technology studies, MIT is often regarded as the best university in the world for engineering.
MIT School of Engineering offers several engineering undergraduate majors that include nuclear science and engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, civil and environmental engineering, chemical engineering, and other disciplines.
As expected, MIT School of Engineering is extremely selective: 4.8% of applicants were admitted to the Class of 2027. For that same class, the middle 50% range scored at least a 740 in SAT ERW and 780 in SAT Math.
