A whopping 97% of Bucknell students report being employed, in graduate school, volunteering, or some combination thereof within nine months of graduation.
And if you think the median starting salary for Bucknell grads is high, it's important to note that the alumni median lifetime earnings are equally high; the Lewisburg, Pennsylvania-based school ranks No. 5 among liberal-arts colleges surveyed by PayScale.

Average SAT score: 2175
Median starting salary: $51,000
The small liberal-arts school in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, offers its undergrads more than 600 courses and a challenging honors program, reserved for a select group of top students.

Average SAT score: 2063
Median starting salary: $54,000
Colgate, in Hamilton, New York, has an impressive track record of sending grads to top graduate schools (Columbia, New York University, Harvard, Cornell, and Penn are among them) as well as top employment positions.
For work in finance, and especially on Wall Street, Colgate has a solid reputation for sending very successful and well-prepared graduates, one Colgate alum who took our survey noted. My classmate recently retired as the CEO of the NYSE. We have an extensive network of graduates in the industry.
7. Middlebury College
Average SAT score: 2065
Median starting salary: $51,900
Middlebury may be in the middle of rural Vermont, but it's not shut off from the world; in fact, the school is a leader in language instruction and international studies, and it offers 10 foreign-language tracks.
An emphasis on writing in all classes broadens students' ability for critical thinking and expression.

Often considered one of the best liberal-arts colleges in the country (and, this year, the second-best overall college in America by Forbes), Williams considers its education more than a four-year program.
