"Columbia Southern"?
I'd google it, but I'm afraid I'll start getting a lot of spam.

Sorry, but that is list is not an ROI, but actually a list based on average starting salary. The ROI would be the comparison of the starting salary to the tuition cost (how much you get out vs what you paid or Return on Investment). If it was true ROI, UAB would be 3rd behind Columbia Southern and South Al.

How do they factor in graduate students? Is their starting salary the money they make while in grad school (which varies greatly depending on the program, but not as much as a "real job"), or the first job out of grad school (still not that great if you're an MD resident, the 2nd job is much better)?
This list would benefit schools that focus on business, then engineering, and penalize many of the biological sciences.

And what if they include K-12 educators who start in the $30,000 range and go up to the $40,000 range over most of 2 decades unless they get advanced degrees (EDS, DEd), up to $50,000 and / or get out of the academic classroom (always the lowest paid teachers in any school system) and into administration or coaching.
