Further analysis
Outcomes at Binghamton University vary by field, and Azimuth's program rankings evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 32 ranked programs, with earnings data published for 35 fields of study.
The three largest program families are Biological Sciences, at 19.4% of bachelor's degrees awarded, Social Sciences at 14.3%, and Business at 13.9%. Among individual programs, Neuroscience holds the strongest national rank at #4 within its field, with graduates earning a median of $77,478 four years after completion.
Fine and Studio Arts is another standout, ranked #5 nationally and earning $60,299, which is 1.46x the national median for the field. The highest-earning program is Computer Science, where completers earn a median of $126,183 four years out, though it awards a smaller number of degrees at 115 a year.
The spread between the largest programs and the highest-earning ones is a reminder that the choice of major carries weight here.
