Payscale has put together a list of the top colleges and universities that yield the highest salaries for graduates, and a Philadelphia university made it to the top 10, writes Morgan Smith for CNBC.

The University of Pennsylvania placed ninth on the list.

To put together the report, Payscale looked at the education and employment histories of more than 3 million college graduates, then ranked colleges according to its alumni’s median salaries in the first five years of their career and what alumni with 10 or more years of work experience were earning.

According to the list, University of Pennsylvania graduates earn early career pay of $92,500 and $178,300 of mid-career pay.

Penn is one of four Ivy League schools to place in the top 10 of the list, joining Princeton University (No. 2), Dartmouth College (No. 8), and Harvard University (No. 10).

Atop the list was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where early career pay was $110,200, while mid-career pay is $196,900.
