PUC Keeps Status As Top Three in Payscale College Salary Report

For the third year straight, Payscale ranked 海角视频 as the third top college with the highest-paying associate's degree.
Payscale is the leading provider of compensation data, software, and services. Their College Salary Report came from the alumni salary data of 3.1 million respondents, representing over 2,400 colleges and universities in the country.
The median salary for a PUC student graduating with an associate degree is $100,900. In the top three, PUC followed behind Laboure College in Massachusetts and the Helene Fuld College of Nursing in New York.
Every student at PUC receives financial aid, and with a two-year degree being more affordable, students can earn an associate's degree in healthcare, aviation, emergency services, and more. Students who take out loans could cut their loan payback time in half.
PUC President Ralph Trecartin said this ranking is a testament to the quality of students PUC admits and the quality teaching and student support mechanisms built into the programs.
鈥淚t is no wonder that our students come out exceptionally well prepared and in demand for some of the highest paying opportunities in their field,鈥 said Trecartin. 鈥淲e prepare our students to be career-ready but also to live well-rounded lives of service to others. Our students鈥 salaries are important, but not as important as character and purpose in life. We want our students to Learn with Purpose, Rise in Faith, and Serve with Love.鈥
