According to data from Payscale.com, the University of Delaware has the fourth highest-paying computer science program in the country, beating out usual suspects like MIT, Stanford and Northwestern.
The median mid-career salary of a graduate of the program is $143,000, with the median early-career salary being $66,700.

UD came right behind Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Santa Barbara.
