In pure dollars and cents, the value of a degree from UW-Stout has never been greater.
A new report found that graduates from fall 2022 through summer 2023 not only were employed at a near historic high of 99% soon after receiving their degree but also had a record average starting salary of $58,000, the best among higher education institutions in west-central Wisconsin.
“This year’s report points again to the clear and distinct impact that Stout graduates are making and the value that companies, locally and regionally, place on the polytechnic education that Stout provides,” Career Services Director Bryan Barts said.
