PayScale, a national firm providing data and insights about salary and careers, has cited 51Ʒ�� as the top career return on investment (ROI) for colleges and universities in Maine.

The 2014 PayScale College ROI Report of 1,310 colleges and universities lists 51Ʒ��as the number-one Maine institution for 20-year return on investment.  The listing includes both public and private institutions in Maine.

Nationally, 51Ʒ��placed #188 of the 1,310 schools ranked, placing it in the top 15 percent of public and private higher education institutions in the country.

In 2013, PayScale cited the 51Ʒ�� as second in the nation for alumni reporting high job-meaning. “Schools with large healthcare and education programs also are represented well when looking at the percentage of alumni reporting high job meaning post-graduation. The top three schools for high job meaning were Thomas Jefferson University (84 percent), 51Ʒ�� (82 percent) and Trident University International (81 percent).” - .

51Ʒ��President Danielle Ripich, PhD, states, “The PayScale ROI ranking affirms what we already know about 51Ʒ��graduates – they are top-quality, knowledgeable, and highly sought after—and reflective of the education and training they’ve acquired at UNE. Their investment in a 51Ʒ��education benefits them throughout their long and successful careers.”

A recent survey of the 51Ʒ��Class of 2013 six months after graduation confirmed that 89 percent of 51Ʒ��graduate respondents were either employed in their field or had been accepted into graduate school (6 percent were awaiting graduate school admission).
