Recently, the U.S. agency PayScale salary data online in 2009, the United States survey of college graduates starting salaries based on published a study entitled “2010 Survey of U.S. investment rate of return report.” Opening report, said: “Do not compare college tuition, more after admission to the University of return on investment.”
The report describes: “ROI”, an economic issue on university

Investment cost is the cost of college. In the survey, this fee includes tuition, accommodation, books, tuition and so on. Multiplied by the annual cost of admission time, admission fee is. And different Chinese universities, although the United States four years undergraduate curriculum, but students can turn professional, dropped out, so learning time is not uniform for four years. In calculating the average cost of college, the report of the graduates over the past 30 years, admitted to doing a year of 4-statistics obtained after 6 years of undergraduate graduates of the “typical time.”
Second, talk about a return to college. Return is not only income after graduation, the report compares high school graduates earn more than graduates of that part. Because the choice of college, high school students on the loss directly resulting from the work after 4-6 years of “work income”, economics, calls this “opportunity cost.” Report took 30 years in 1980 -2 009 years, college graduates between the median annual salary, as well as in the past 34 years -36 years of high school graduates, the median value of annual salary. This comparison is a reference University of return on investment factors.
Swept the top 10 private universities in Massachusetts Institute of Technology the highest return on investment
University of return on investment in the top 10, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led the way, the school enrollment in 2009 the average cost of 189,300 U.S. dollars, 30-year return on investment is 1.688 million U.S. dollars, the annual investment return rate of 12.6%. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the leadership of outstanding U.S. private university. ROI swept the top 10 are private universities, private universities in the United States confirmed a strong position in the higher education system (see Table: American University of return on investment TOP10).
For the domestic audience, the list on the Haweimade College and University of Notre Dame may be the “new faces.” Haweimade College is a prestigious American Academy of Arts is one of the few American Liberal Arts Colleges in mathematics, science and engineering-oriented school.
In the United States, representing College of Arts and Teaching in a small elite. Schools are generally no professional expertise, but in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities courses under three broad categories. This “discrimination” professional approach, expressing the principle of Arts and College of Education: No specific personnel training, but a free education. The top of this Haweimade College, 10, is no accident, published in 2009 Payscale salary ranking university graduates, the school and the other by the University of Arts are among the top 10, shows University of Arts extraordinary strength.
University of Notre Dame is the Ivy League upstart. And the West, like many ancient university, University of Notre Dame has strong religious, upper-class color. Depends on a strong Alumni Association, the school is closely related with the government and business consortia. University of Notre Dame alumni donation rate, after the Princeton, and Harvard tied for second in the world.

Institutions, whether public or private institutions, the list was full of “science and engineering” mark. Industry analysis, review the list from 1980 to 2009, salaries in 30 years ranks, are echoed 30 years of electronic technology, engineering boom trend. Such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology ranked first, the report referred to the undergraduate school to graduate school several major: Mechanical Engineer, Senior Software Engineer / Development Engineer / programmers, aerospace engineers, purely for science and engineering background Selling Well talent market, which constantly upgrading technology and electronic engineering are inseparable.
For students interested in studying in the United States, in the school choice and selection professional, can list as a reference, find out the industry trends, prepare for employment.
