A Missouri school is in the top 10 U.S. colleges that improve their graduates' financial futures, according to a Wall Street Journal ranking.
Missouri University of Science and Technology was on the Wall Street Journal's list of Colleges for Best Salaries, behind other big names like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and Princeton University.
The list was calculated using just two factors: Affordability and return on investment. While it might cost students quite a bit to attend some of these top schools, that tuition is weighed against how much graduates earn early in their careers.
Located in Rolla, Missouri, the Missouri University of Science and Technology has a robust STEM program and offers reduced in-state tuition rates for Missouri residents.
