A new report from the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education has shed light on the earnings of graduates from the state’s 29 public colleges and universities.
Working with the Commonwealth’s Performance Measurement Reporting System, the report focused on two specific metrics: the earnings of graduates who enrolled immediately after high school and the earnings of those who enrolled at age 25 or older. By examining these metrics, the report revealed how post-graduate earnings range across fields, institutions, and demographics.
According to the report, a graduate with an associate’s degree from a state public college earns approximately $20,000 more per year than a high school graduate five years after completing their postsecondary education. Holders of a bachelor’s degree, on the other hand, earn approximately $30,000 more per year after the same amount of time.
