outdid Florida Inst. of Technology (31%), Inst. for the Psychological Sciences (27.9%), Phillips Graduate Inst. (26.3%), and Loyola of Maryland (24%), and others, ending with Carlos Albizu Univ-Miami (-10.3%).

2 out of the other 39 colleges were ruled out due to missing, unknown, or not-applicable values for average teaching salary differential (men vs. women), e.g., Southern California Seminary.

1. Teaching salaries for men and women are from the Salary Outlays for Full-time Instructional Staff by Contract Length, Gender, and Academic Rank: 2011-12 (Final/revised release) by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds).
   
2. Information on majors and programs of study is from the Completions Data File, 2011-12 (Provisional release) as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds). Top majors are the ones that have the most conferred degrees. If it says "is in" rather than just "is", then various top majors were combined into a new attribute. For example, colleges whose top major is "in engineering" will include a college whose top major is chemical engineering, another whose top major is electrical engineering, and so on.
   

The Wright Inst. is in Berkeley, CA, is private and nonprofit, grants doctorates, is on the trimester system, its top Masters major is clinical psychology, its top Doctoral major is clinical psychology, and enrolls fewer than 1,000 students.
