    PayScale square logo

    Wagner College was highly ranked in the 2021 PayScale college alumni salaries study, which was based on data that was updated on Aug. 23, 2021:

    • Wagner alumni salaries were ranked in the top 12 percent nationwide (#185 of 1,539 ranked bachelors colleges and universities), and the top 14 percent among private bachelor's schools nationwide (#135 of 965) according to the PayScale 2021 College Salary Report.
    • Wagner’s return on investment for its students was ranked among the top 16 percent of private bachelor's schools nationwide (#146 of 905), and the top 21 percent for all bachelor's schools nationwide (#410 of 1.978) according to the PayScale 2021 College ROI Report.

    PayScale bases its reported return on investment on the “difference between 20-year median pay for a bachelor’s grad and 24-year median pay for a high school grad, minus total 4-year cost.”

    This is the twelfth year PayScale has released college and university alumni salary rankings, and the tenth year Wagner College has appeared in the rankings.

    PayScale’s ranking for Wagner College was based on a sample of 150 alumni salaries.
