POTSDAM -- Clarkson University graduates have some of the highest salaries in the nation, according to the 2014-2015 College Salary Report from PayScale Inc.

Alumni with Clarkson bachelor's degrees are in the top 4 percent of earners and those who went on to get additional degrees are in the top 2 percent.

Clarkson is tied in 31st place with Williams College in Massachusetts, with mid-career salary among alumni calculated at $110,700.

That is behind other schools in New York including Colgate University ($126,600), the United States Military Academy, West Point ($123,900), SUNY Maritime Academy ($121,700), Cooper Union ($117,000), Cornell ($111,100), and Manhattan College ($110,800), but ahead of other schools such as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ($110,100), and Duke, Notre Dame, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins.

In May, PayScale announced the launch of Alumni Analytics, a pilot program to help universities gain insight into the work experiences of graduates. As part of the pilot program, PayScale was to conduct an alumni survey on behalf of a handful of inaugural customers for Alumni Analytics, including Clarkson University. PayScale was then to provide a detailed report to each school on the career outcomes of its alumni.
