Salary and Debt by Major at University of Mississippi

We calculated a Salary Score for each of University of Mississippi'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 University of Mississippi 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.

Not a good experience with university of Mississippi at all. During the period of my study at OleMiss, I was always stressed out and was treated poorly by school staffs.
