Salary and Debt by Major at Rhode Island College
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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.

Rhode Island College is a great school for those wanting to study Education. I attended for two years as a part-time student while working full-time as a high school educator in an inner city public high school. Although attending both college and work was difficult to balance, RIC made it possible to do both.
