A series of studies by University of Ottawa’s Education Policy Research Initiative (EPRI) tracked the income of 82,000 uOttawa graduates over a 13-year period. They found that university graduates with degrees in engineering and computer science had the highest earnings in their first year in the workforce. They also found that female graduates earned about $10,000 less than their male counterparts in their first year of employment. The gap increased to $20,000 by year 13.
