I spent my career at California State University, Chico, a public comprehensive university in northern CA, teaching business management. An outfit called Payscale.com has analyzed Return On Investment (ROI) for various college degrees at various schools.
Using their website, I calculated how a business grad from Chico State, would fare, compared to the 31 other public universities in CA. CSUChico ranked 7th overall and 2nd among the 23 campuses in the CSU system.
Our graduates average a 20 year net ROI of just over a half million dollars; this is an excellent outcome. I had a subjective sense we were adding value, here is evidence I was right.
