Two more facts about the shape of this field: the five highest-paying programs in the table account for only 11.0% of the 4,328 graduates counted at five years, so the top of the table is a thin slice and not the field's center; and the leading program's five-year median of $122,078 sits 60% above the national field median of $76,079.
