Forbes ranks Clarkson University Among the Nation’s Best Universities
Forbes has named Clarkson University in the top 250 colleges in the nation, and among the top 100 in the Northeast. The magazine also ranked Clarkson highly in their Research Universities category and in the Private College category.
Clarkson offers students an excellent education that prepares them for lucrative careers. Based on wage data from Payscale, Forbes reports that Clarkson students earn a median salary of $157,700 ten years after graduation.
Forbes ranked U.S. colleges and universities based on return on investment, average student debt levels and outcomes for their graduates. Schools ranked highly on the list if the students returned after their first year, graduated on time, secured high salaries after graduation and left college with little student debt.
This achievement is among a long list of recent accolades for Clarkson, as the university has been ranked in the Princeton Reviews Best 390 Colleges, ranked high in ROI in a New York Times Ranking tool, and the Coulter School of Engineering and Applied Sciences’ programs have also ranked highly by U.S. News and World Report.
