The Economic Value of College Majors

Choosing a college major is one of the most important decisions for young people. It not only affects future earnings but also reflects personal interests and life goals. A report from Georgetown University breaks down the economic value of different majors, looking at entry-level wages and comparing bachelor’s degree holders with those who hold graduate degrees.

Not all bachelor’s degrees lead to the same income. Among entry-level workers, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) majors earn the most. Along with business, STEM is one of the most preferred choices, as it combines strong employment demand with attractive long-term pay.

For those who continue to graduate school, earnings usually increase — sometimes dramatically. Sciences see the biggest jump, while arts have the smallest growth. Here’s the breakdown of average earnings and the wage increase from a graduate degree.
