FYI: From the HARTFORD BUSINESS JOURNAL:
A new study from SmartAsset, a New York financial technology company, shows Connecticut's Ivy League university did not produce the graduates with the highest average salaries. That distinction goes to Fairfield University, a Jesuit college with almost 5,000 students.
Fairfield graduates earned an average starting salary of $50,100, just edging out Yale grads who earned $50,000. The remaining top five schools in Connecticut and their average starting salaries were: University of Connecticut, $49,700; Quinnipiac University, $49,500; and, Trinity College, $47,800.
Where Yale has the edge, according to SmartAsset, is its $41,085 in average scholarships and grants for an estimated annual cost of $62,076. Fairfield students received $22,155 towards an estimated annual cost of $57,030....
Of the top five schools, Hartford's Trinity has the highest tuition at $45,730. Yale is next at $42,300. Fairfield is third at $41,690 and Quinnipiac is fourth at $38,000. UConn, the only public university in the top five, is significantly lower than the other four at $11,242. SmartAsset says the average student loan debt is $28,400....
