The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a comprehensive cancer center and autonomous university of the University of Texas System in Houston, Texas. It is the largest cancer center in the world and one of the original three NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the country. It is both a degree-granting academic institution and a cancer treatment and research center located within the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center and life sciences destination in the world. MD Anderson Cancer Center has consistently ranked #1 among the best hospitals for cancer care and research in the U.S. and worldwide, and it has held the #1 position 20 times in the last 23 years in U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals rankings for cancer care. As of 2023, MD Anderson Cancer Center is home to the highest number of cancer clinical trials in the world and has received more NCI-funded projects than any other U.S. institute. For 2024, Newsweek placed MD Anderson at #1 in their annual list of the World's Best Specialized Hospitals in oncology.
The numbers tell a compelling story here — graduates earn a median of $90,100 ten years out, and with median debt of just $12,500, the return on investment is exceptional. With only 322 undergraduates, this is an intensely specialized institution focused on cancer research and health sciences, not a traditional college experience, so it's worth considering only if you have a clear, committed interest in that field. If that description fits you, few places offer this kind of focused training with such strong financial outcomes.
