FARMINDGALE STATE COLLEGE NATIONALLY RANKED IN GRADUATE EARNING POWER
Campus Places in the Top 100 of the Nation’s Public Colleges and Universities
The potential earning power of Farmingdale State graduates is one of the highest in the nation among public colleges and universities, according to PayScale.com, which tracks salaries in a variety of industries. The College was ranked 88th in the recent survey of more than 200 colleges and universities and was only one of four SUNY institutions to place in the top 100, joining Stony Brook, Binghamton, and the University of Albany. Farmingdale ranked just below Mississippi State and just ahead of the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, with its graduates earning a starting median average of $46,100 and a mid-career median salary of $80,500.
“The earning power of our graduates is a tribute to the excellent faculty we have, the partnerships we have with regional businesses, our growing internship program, and the ability to shape our academic programs in ways that fully prepare our students for the job market,” President Keen said. “Our graduates are in demand, and we have great confidence that they will continue to be in demand.”

The recognition was Farmingdale’s third major honor in as many months. In August, US News & World Report named Farmingdale one of the top baccalaureate colleges in the Northeast. In October the online publication The Daily Beast named Farmingdale the second-safest campus in the nation.
Payscale.com based its rankings methodology on annual pay for Bachelors graduates without higher degrees. In the methodology, typical starting graduates have two years of experience; mid-career graduates have 15 years.

This is great, I am proudly a farmingdale graduate now pursuing a masters and I attest for what it says here, the college opened amazing doors for me.
Rob,
You sure must have a whole bunch of free time on your hands.
You, stalking people across the boards goes to show that you are walking the same narrow path as Maj. Hasan. I’m so sorry you have so little in your life. You have my pity.
Your rage must be so terrible. If only I could be standing before you. Perhaps I could provide you the help which you so badly need.
When I consider the lonliness you must be feeling, my heart breaks for you.
I urge you to find a trustworthy counselor befor eit is too late.
I continue to pray for your enlightenment.

Did you know that education is not important in our culture?
When you have no education, others use this fact to discriminate against you.
Once you get the degree, no one cares.
If you are getting an education, you need to do it for yourself. You need to do it because you want to improve your mind and thinking.
If it also happens to improve your earning potential then all the better.
This story is nonsense.
Blah – Blah – Blah…..
Another entity boasting about some award, given by people you don;t know for reasons they won’t explain.
Anybody can create an award and hand it out. Companies do it all the time to make themselves look better. Charities do it all the time to raise money. Give me a break.
This is little more than a free advertisment for the college. Give me a break already.
The “earnings power” of these students is testament to the fact that we live in one of the most expensive place on the planet and that salaries barely keep up with those significantly higher expenses.
Are people so completely stupid that they can’t see how they are being manipulated? Now that’s a testamony on the state of our education system. A country filled with people who are unaware that they are being manipulated. That’s great!
