Reed College Rankings by Salary Score™
Salary and Debt by Major at Reed College
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Reed College's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Reed College to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Most Recent Review
Reed College is very socially liberal, but has a very conservative education. Students study the fundamentals, as evidenced by the only required class, Humanities 110, which is a survey of ancient Greek and Roman culture. It is one of the best places to attend if you truly want to test your mental rigor.
