Empire State University
Saratoga Springs
Not scored. Graduates of this program earn more than graduates of the school's bachelor's degree in the same field, and about 1.7× the national median for this credential. That usually means students arrived already holding a degree or years of work experience. Our model assumes a student starting right after high school, so it can't measure what this program added. Earnings are as reported by the College Scorecard. Run it with your own cost and expected pay →
