Average starting salaries out of college

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a place, or copy/paste, average starting salaries for an undergraduate business major from certain schools. I am in the process of deciding which would be better financially for me in the long run: stay in-state at my current university (University of Kansas) and be in zero debt after graduation, or attend a top business/economics program, most likely Northwestern for econ, or Michigan for business (possibly Wharton if I got in, but I doubt it). Michigan seems to be my match at the moment, and if I went there, I’d probably end up with about $70,000 dollars of loans to pay off, and I believe a 10 year loan is what I would be able to do (correct me if I’m wrong) with pretty low interest. So could anyone help me out? What are the average starting salaries for:</p>

<li>Michigan business major</li>
<li>Northwestern economics major</li>
<li>Wharton business major</li>
<li>University of Virginia business major</li>
<li>University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill business major</li>
<li>University of Kansas business major</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks a lot in advance, even if you don’t have the numbers but have some advice, that’d be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Northwestern Econ is hard to track because universities do no usually list starting salaries according to majors.</p>
