Can't this be largely attributed to you having a much higher % of students majoring in engineering? Seeing how the average starting salary of just about every engineering major is over 50k/year, this is obviously going to skew the numbers more.
Myth. Only 13% of students at A&M major in Engineering. That's roughly 5K undergrads. As opposed to 34% that are Business or Interdisciplinary Studies.
I do know our Petrol Eng, Elect Eng, Mech Eng and Aerospace Eng do very very well with Fluor, BP, Exxon, Shell, Lockheed Martin, Bechtel, Boeing and the like.

You might want to check your numbers. According to:
LINK
Over 20% of undergrads at A&M are in engineering programs.
Comparing this to Arkansas:

We have 9.1%. A&M has over double the number of engineers. That is pretty significant. I'm too lazy to look up other schools.
