How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

At Aquinas College, field choice matters because earnings differ across the programs shown here. The largest degree families are Business, at 22.5% of bachelor's degrees awarded; Psychology, at 12.8%; and Education, at 12.2%.

Those shares describe degrees awarded rather than enrollment. Azimuth's program rankings look at earnings four years after completion among completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation.

Award counts on the page are degrees awarded in one academic year. Accounting shows median earnings of $76,274 four years after completion, Business Administration and Management shows $74,404, and Sustainability Studies shows $60,285.

The range across these fields gives the program page a more specific view than a schoolwide outcome alone. Published earnings data appear for 9 programs.
