Salary and Debt by Major at Temple University
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Temple University'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 Temple University 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.
