Interesting. Connecting rankings with mid-career salary is a clever idea, but it doesn't look like they controlled for cost of living of the areas where most of the alumni live. If you're somewhere like Boston, New York, or Southern California, yes, your salary will be higher, but it won't last any longer than someone who lives in Arkansas and makes half as much.
The real MUST (Missouri University of Science & Technology) made the top ten. Also in the top ten is Florida Institute of Technology which has some interesting DL programs.
