A new study reports Tennesse Tech graduates to have the highest early-career salary of any public university of the state for 2021.
According to an annual College Salary Report from PayScale, Tech is second only to Vanderbilt amongst all Tennessee universities and colleges for highest early career pay.
Another study by PayScale also reports that Tech students will have the highest return-on-investment of any public university in the state, as well as the lowest average student debt of any university in the state.
A press release from the university states that Tech’s average 20-year net return on investments totals some $408,000 for in-state students and $344,000 for out-of-state students.
In a written statement, Tennessee Tech Vice President for Enrollment Management and Career Placement Brandon Johnson said that “When students and their families are deciding what schools to consider, one of their top questions is what does Tech do to prepare them for careers after Tech,” Johnson said. “Information from these reports demonstrate that Tech graduates succeed and are an excellent answer to that question.”
