A bachelor's degree in business can sometimes lead to a lucrative salary and going on to receive a master's tends to only boost that figure.
According to College Factual, these 10 schools produce the highest-earning graduates more than any others. However, the list differs slightly from the website's best overall business schools, meaning a good business school is not always measured by how much graduates go on to earn.
Here are the top 10 schools with the highest paid business graduates and their ranking as College Factual's best business school, according to USA Today. Tip: choose a U.S. armed forces school.
