College Scorecard, Government website - gingerbeefE - 09-19-2015
Found this relatively new government website that ranks colleges based on their annual yearly tuition, Graduation rate, and average salary after graduating.
Although the Salary after graduating seems silly to me because a lot of schools have very diverse degrees offered, STEM colleges would kill in this category.
Not surprising that TESC has "no data available" for tuition. I don't even see how they would calculate that considering... well us. I am unable to see more info because my work computer will not let me open the page. TESC is sitting above the national salary at $49,100, Excelsior has no data at all, and charter oak
sits at 39,800.
Are you surprised that the average graduate from TESC makes almost 10K more than the average graduate from COSC?

I just got home, looking at some of these stats.
19,596 undergraduate students
1 %Full-time / 99 %Part-time
Impresive.

TESC probably attracts a broader spectrum of students being larger and attracting more military students. TESC has a lot of degrees geared toward those in technical fields. The disparity might change as COSC starts to offer more majors as opposed to their general studies options.

It would be nice to compare all the big 3 in all the categories. Notice many of the B&M schools suck.

Top 10 colleges with the highest paid liberal arts graduates

#9. Excelsior College: Albany, N.Y.
Excelsior College is based in the state of New York, but the majority of its students study online. This is a private non-profit university, with many of its students being adult learners or part-timers. Liberal Arts and Sciences is one of the most popular majors at Excelsior, and graduates have high starting salaries of $50,000 a year and midcareer salaries of $77,000.
Many of the students at Excelsior College are adult learners with prior work experience, which could help give them a boost when it comes to starting salaries.
