To put together the salary list, NerdScholar started with the top 100 national universities from US News & World Report’s list of top colleges plus the top 30 liberal arts schools from that list and cross-referenced those with data it culled from university career services that polled students about their salaries. It looked at starting salaries for the classes of 2011, 2012 and 2013 and averaged those numbers for each school. The list is far from comprehensive because many schools, like Harvard, Yale and Brown don’t release salary information. Those schools simply aren’t on the list. There are more than 4,500 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the U.S. and NerdScholar only tracks a fraction of those。

为了建立工资表格，NerdScholar在美国新闻&世界报道大学排名中选取了前100名大学，加上列表上的30所文科学院。交叉引用了来自大学职业服务对学生薪水的调查。审视了2011,2012和2013级的起始工资和每个学院的平均工资。表格并不全面，因为很多学校，像哈佛大学、耶鲁大学、布朗大学没有公布工资信息。所以这些学校不在表上NerdScholar只追踪了在美国4500多所授予学位的高等教育机构种的一部分。

Here is a list of the top 10 schools:
