Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ROI Score?
The ROI Score is CollegeDebt's proprietary grading system that rates every school + major combination from A (best return) to F (worst return) based on five factors: debt-to-income ratio, earnings premium over high school graduates, job market outlook, graduation rate, and debt vs the national average for that major.
Where does this data come from?
All data comes from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, which tracks actual student debt levels and post-graduation earnings. Job outlook data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook.
What do the verdicts mean?
STRONG BUY means the ROI is excellent -- low debt, high earnings, strong job market. BUY means solid returns. CAUTION means the debt-to-earnings ratio warrants careful consideration. AVOID means the combination has poor financial returns relative to the cost.
