Per-major median earnings and 10-year projection bands. Numbers come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (most recent release); trajectory bands come from the life-path model run server-side with a synthetic profile.
Median earnings of federally-aided graduates 10 years after first enrollment, across all majors at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
| Major | Graduates / yr | Median earnings 4 years out | Work in Indiana 1 year out | Trajectory | Projection |

| Mechanical Engineering. | 114 | $95,983 | 48% | Run mine | |

From 2016 to 2025, 284 Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in engineering, physical sciences, and biological and biomedical sciences.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.

The rows above use a synthetic profile (median household income, in-state residency). The life-path tool runs the same model on your actual income, family size, residency, and intended major.

Work in Indiana: of graduates working and not in school a year after graduating, the share whose job is in Indiana. A dash means the College Scorecard doesn't report the figure for that major, or counted fewer than 30 graduates.
