2021 Best Colleges in Maine by Salary Score

We ranked the best schools in Maine by Salary Score to show how each school stacks up in terms of alumni salary by major for a bachelor's degree. The Salary Score acts as an indicator of whether degrees from a given college tend to lead to better financial outcomes for alumni compared to the same degrees from schools across the country. To calculate the Salary Score, we compared median alumni salaries in the year after graduation for each program to salary data for the same programs at other universities. A high Salary Score indicates that overall, alumni at the school tended to earn higher salaries compared to alumni with the same major at other colleges. Colby College, Bowdoin College, and Bates College all scored in the top 25% of eligible U.S. colleges and universities.

To be considered for our state rankings, schools must offer and provide data for at least 8 bachelor's programs. This list includes all eligible schools in Maine. You can click on a school's name to view individual program scores. Read our methodology to learn more about how schools were ranked.
