CU among Top 50 Public Universities in Degree ROI

Clemson University is one of the Top 50 public U.S. colleges in the return on the investment in a degree, according to a new ranking. The College Database said the 30-year return on investment in a Clemson degree is $409,200.  The website set out to find the post-secondary institutions whose graduates enjoy the largest earnings gap between non-degree holders over a 30-year span. Only colleges deemed public institutions by the Carnegie Classification system have been included. Clemson is the only South Carolina university that made the list. Data for the list came from Pay Scale, which publishes a new college graduate earnings report each year.
