Top 20 HBCUs by Alumni Starting Average Salary 2015

Top 20 HBCUs by Alumni Starting Average Salary 2015
Edsmart.org offers another interesting report that shows students the best black colleges based on how much they can expect to earn after graduation. It will help them choose their college considering the starting salary they can expect upon their entering the workforce. Choosing the right college is important to gain the right path for a successful career.

When choosing a college a lot of students look at the location, the cost involved in going to that college as well as the reputation. However, when choosing a college as a starting point of a chosen career, one important factor should not be overlooked, and that is the starting average salary earned by graduates. Since a prestigious school not necessarily translates into a higher salary, the college that offers a high starting average salary can be the first choice of students. The statistic offered by Edsmart.org shows not only the annual starting average salary, but also the yearly tuition of the school.
