Starting Salaries Vary By College Attended

Report: Earnings of Colorado college grads vary widely by major and institution

The latest College Measures report on earnings of college graduates looks at data from Colorado, where those receiving an associate of applied sciences degree typically out-earn those with a bachelor’s degree during their first year of work. Institution also matters: median first-year income for a business administration major from the University of Colorado Denver is $43,500, compared with $59,600 for graduates with the same degree from the University of Denver. College Measures is a joint venture of AIR and the Matrix Knowledge Group.
