Programs & majors brief

Arizona State University Campus Immersion Majors & Programs

Updated

Which majors earn the most at ASU?

Among Arizona State University Campus Immersion programs with a reported four-year earnings value, the highest medians are: Construction Engineering ($116,219); Computer Science ($114,868); Computer Engineering ($112,543); Construction Engineering Technology/Technician ($107,880); Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering ($104,757). These are earnings after completion for the covered cohort.

A program median describes the middle reported outcome in that group. It is not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every graduate, and an earnings comparison does not by itself explain why fields differ.

Compare these results with the subjects you want to study and the program’s reported award count. Awards measure degree output, not the number of people in the earnings sample.

Arizona State University Campus Immersion awards bachelor's degrees across 90 fields with published four-year earnings, and Azimuth ranks 80 of them nationally. The highest-earning program, Construction Engineering, shows a median of $116,219 four years after completion, though it awarded only 9 degrees.

Computer Science follows at $114,868 with 582 degrees awarded and an Azimuth national rank of #60. Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, the biggest by degrees awarded at 1,206, earns a median of $72,002 and ranks #5 nationally.

Biology accounts for 957 degrees awarded and shows a median of $56,037, while Psychology awards 856 degrees and reaches $53,586 with a national rank of #90.

Counts describe degrees awarded in the reporting period, not current enrollment. Program data and definitions

The largest program records at Arizona State University Campus Immersion, by reported degrees awarded, are: Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other (1,206 awards); Biology, General (957 awards); Psychology, General (856 awards); Business Administration, Management and Operations (713 awards); Computer Science (582 awards). These counts describe degree output in the source reporting period, not current enrollment or unique people.

Among those larger programs, reported median earnings four years after completion include Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other at $72,002; Biology, General at $56,037; Psychology, General at $53,586. Program size and earnings answer different questions; the largest program need not have the highest earnings.

How do ASU majors rank nationally?

Arizona State University Campus Immersion’s national program ranks compare each field with the same field at other institutions in Azimuth’s ranking data. For example, a Computer Science rank compares programs in Computer Science, while a Biology rank compares programs in Biology.

A lower rank number indicates a higher position within that field; comparing the numbers across different fields does not tell you which major will pay more or suit you better.

These are Azimuth program-value rankings. The source orders programs by its composite program-value measure, so this view answers a different question from the highest-earning majors section.

A field can report lower earnings than another Arizona State University Campus Immersion field while holding a stronger position against its own national competitors. Read its national position alongside the earnings and degree counts to understand both the comparison with other schools and the scale of the program at Arizona State University Campus Immersion.

Programs ranked in the national top 50, supplemented by the largest ranked programs when needed to show ten. Fewer appear when fewer ranks are reported. Each rank compares bachelor’s programs in the same field; field sizes differ.

The list includes Arizona State University Campus Immersion programs ranked in the national top 50 for their field. If fewer than ten qualify, it adds the largest remaining programs with a reported national rank, using degrees awarded to select them, until the list reaches ten or no ranked programs remain.

These additions broaden the comparison to larger Arizona State University Campus Immersion programs; they are not necessarily ranked in the national top 50.

How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

Earnings vary widely by field at Arizona State University Campus Immersion, and Azimuth scores programs by four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt and cohort size rather than reputation. 90 programs carry published earnings data, and 80 of them hold an Azimuth national rank.

Business makes up 22.3% of degrees awarded, while Engineering contributes 9.4% and Biological Sciences 8.6%. Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services is the largest single program, at 1,206 degrees awarded.

Azimuth ranks it #5 within its field, with graduates earning $72,002 four years after completion. Computer Science is smaller at 582 degrees awarded but posts higher earnings, at $114,868, and ranks #60 nationally.

Construction Engineering Technology/Technician ranks even higher at #2 nationally, with earnings of $107,880 four years after completion.

Data & methodology

Analysis and methodology by Daniel Rogers, founder of College Azimuth.

Explanatory text is AI-assisted drafting checked against those figures; it is not an additional data source.

Figure notes link to sources and limitations. About College Azimuth.

Four-year earnings are measured after completion for the covered federally aided cohort of people working and not enrolled. Measures taken six, eight or ten years after entry use a different starting point and should not be treated as one graduating class followed over time.

Program award counts describe credentials awarded, not current enrollment, unique graduates or earnings-sample size. Reporting periods differ across measures; the shared field definitions do not establish the exact vintage of every school-level value.
