Is this the second year in a row, or has it been longer than that?

I think we've been #1 in starting salaries for several years running, but I think we may have been fluctuating with LSU and Tulane a little between 1-3 in the mid-career salaries over the past few years. Not positive though. You'd have to go back and look at the old press releases to be sure.

Boom! This is the first year we've been 1st in both mid and starting. Interesting if you go to all alumni (not just bachelors) we are 3rd, after Tulane and LSU who have Law & Med, but beat out Southern, Xavier, and Loyola who have Law, and ULM with their Pharmacy. Imagine if we could get a Law or Med attached to Tech $$$.

I'd like to see the News-Star try to spin this to ULM's benefit...

TNS ran Tech's press release. The Shreveport Times hasn't.
