Outcome & Salary
Upon graduation from Wagner, you can expect an early-career average salary of $58,100 and graduates have an average mid-career salary of $105,900. When you compare these figures to the national average salary of $38,792 for those with no college degree, it’s easy to see why college is an excellent investment.
In the long run, your return on investment (ROI) for your Wagner degree should prove lucrative. When you subtract the cost of your education, you’ll see a 10-year potential ROI of $774,830 and in 20 years this increases to $1,833,830, much higher than those with no degree. Although they had no college expenses, their average 10-year projected income is only $387,920, less than half of graduate’s. Note that these numbers are based on an undergraduate degree; those who continue to the master’s or doctoral level generally enjoy much higher salaries.
