In 2020, the average starting pay for immediate Purdue graduates was $62,395. That’s more than 11% better than the U.S. average initial pay of $55,260 for recent grads.
And it’s a direct result of Purdue national academic reputation among prospective students and families — and among employers looking to hire the best and the brightest. That reputation was reflected on Tuesday (Sept. 21) in yet another highly regarded national ranking.
