In Money Magazine’s latest report on “Best Colleges for your Money,” Michigan Technological University ranked in the top 100 overall and in the top 50 among public universities.
Money evaluated 2,400 colleges and universities using 27 criteria and winnowed the list to 711 colleges and universities that the publication considers “best colleges for your money.” Of those, Michigan Tech ranked 91st among all institutions—public and private—and 46th among public universities.
Michigan Tech also ranked sixth in the nation for early career salaries. Tech’s average early career salary for graduates is $63,400.
Money also noted that 47 percent of Michigan Tech’s low-income students have upper-middle class jobs by age 34. That’s a factor known as social mobility.
“Social mobility is an important benefit of a Michigan Tech education, one that often goes unmentioned,” President Glenn Mroz said.
