The Top Three College Majors That Will Return The Investment



It’s almost that time again…the school year is just around the corner.  As students head off to college either for the first time or to continue work on their degree, many may be still wondering exactly what major is right for them.  Being an obviously high dollar investment, the decision of what to major is a big one.  Thinking long term may help make that decision a little easier.  Here are the top three Bachelor degrees by major that will return the investment*:
  1. Engineering – the highest rated return on investment, engineering is estimated to give a 21% return a year.
  2. Math & Computers – coming in second, majoring in a study related to math or computers pays out an average 18% per year.
  3. Business – perhaps one of the most popular majors based on the wide variety of options that are available with a Business degree, it is no surprise that this degree ranks in the top three with an average 17% return.


If your student is heading off to college this fall, what are they majoring in and where are they headed?  Let us know on twitter @honorcu using #askhonorcu!  We wish them luck!
