Frequently Asked Questions

The ROI Score (0-100) weighs five factors: debt-to-income ratio (35%), earnings premium vs national average (25%), job market outlook (20%), graduation rate (10%), and debt vs national average for that major (10%).

ROI varies dramatically by major at the same school. An engineering degree and an art degree at the same university can have wildly different debt-to-earnings ratios. Ranking by combination gives a more accurate picture.

STRONG BUY indicates an ROI Score of 80+ with low debt relative to earnings, strong job growth, and a high graduation rate. It means this school-major combination is an excellent financial investment.
