The study, conducted by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, analyzed the long-term return on investment of 4,500 colleges and universities. Analysis was based on graduates\u2019 future earnings up to 40 years after completion of their degree. <\/p>\n

The same report also ranked Quinnipiac in the top 100 for its graduates\u2019 median 10-year earnings at $63,300 a year. Vice President of Enrollment Management Eric Sykes discussed the impact this study could have on admissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really legitimizes what we\u2019ve been talking about with prospective students,\u201d Sykes said. \u201cQuinnipiac is the kind of place where we\u2019re all about outcomes. We\u2019re very practical in our education. Students are going to get a lot of hands-on experience with faculty. We differentiate ourselves in that way from other schools, and this is really just evidence of what we\u2019ve been saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac continues to differentiate itself, as this isn\u2019t the first time the university has been recognized with such an honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t the first study to come out with differences in outcomes between Quinnipiac and other institutions,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think within the state of Connecticut, we are ranked number one. As families look at the return of investment and the value of a degree, studies like this allow us to talk more about the evidence behind those pieces we\u2019ve been talking about up to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sykes didn\u2019t say that this study would lead directly to more applications, but he noted that it can\u2019t hurt to be mentioned alongside other highly respected colleges and universities, especially in a respected ranking system.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to know any one data point that\u2019s going to really move the needle on those, but it certainly helps us to underscore the message that we\u2019ve already been speaking about. It allows us to talk to students and parents about the value of a Quinnipiac degree,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
