NH's Best Starting Salaries for Grads

Because college students are taking on more debt than ever, a key factor in a student’s decision to attend a college is the starting salary they can expect post-graduation. The average annual growth rate for the cost to attend a four-year university between the years of 1989 and 2016 was 2.6 percent per year compared to only a 0.3 percent annual growth in wages. In short, the cost to attend a university increased almost eight times faster than wages.

This leaves many students considering which colleges will provide them with the best starting salary upon graduation. A recent study by SmartAsset ranked the schools where students earned the best average starting salaries in NH.
