Do you want to make money, study maths or economics at a top university


Liberal-arts students will earn less, even if they go to Harvard

But which factor matters more? New data from America’s Department of Education, released on November 20th, help shed light on this question. The agency’s latest “college scorecard”, which compiles data on earnings by institution and field of study, yields two notable findings. First, it is only graduates from elite universities—those that admit less than one in four applicants—who enjoy high earnings one year after graduation. Those from merely good schools do not typically earn much more than those from less-selective institutions.
