Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Baptist Health Sciences University's program mix is defined almost entirely by health sciences — a focused portfolio shaped by the institution's identity as a specialized health professions university in Memphis. Nursing is the largest program by graduate volume, followed by Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions, Health Administration, Biology, General, and Clinical/Medical Laboratory Science/Research and Allied Professions. Across 5 programs serving roughly 182 students annually, the institution concentrates its degree output in clinical and allied health fields that feed directly into regional and national healthcare labor markets. The strongest earnings outcomes cluster in the highest-acuity clinical programs. Azimuth ranks Nursing #135 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $82,135. Azimuth ranks Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions #63 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $61,506. Azimuth ranks Health Administration #76 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $51,673. These programs reflect the institution's depth in high-demand clinical roles where licensure requirements and workforce shortages support strong starting salaries, as described in Azimuth's how Azimuth evaluates programs methodology. The largest programs by scale — Nursing and Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions — are direct-to-workforce pathways where four-year median earnings reflect labor-market outcomes for graduates entering clinical roles immediately after graduation. The institution's concentrated health-sciences portfolio means that program-mix variation is narrower than at comprehensive universities, but the tradeoff is depth: graduates enter a well-defined set of occupations with clear licensure pathways and steady regional demand. The framework provides broader context for how health professions fields align with national hiring trends.
