Students who graduate from this Pasadena, California university earn an average of about $1 million more over 20 years than those who graduate from high school, according to Payscale's data.
This research university is the home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which produces robotic space explorers like the Mars Rover, as well as the Caltech Seismological Lab, which monitors and studies earthquakes in the area. The school is also known for producing patents and Nobel prizes.
Over 80% of Caltech's graduates stay in California, where the state's wealth of high-paying jobs helps to boost the school's return on investment, said PayScale's Frank.
"Caltech has a 3-to-1 student-faculty ratio, immersing students in groundbreaking research," said Alexx Tobeck, executive director of the Caltech Alumni Association.
