Top Ranked Programs
Brigham Young University's program mix is anchored in Business, which accounts for 14% of graduates, followed by Engineering at 8% and Social Sciences at 7%. The combination of a large business core with meaningful education and engineering presence gives the university a applied-professional signature — graduates are concentrated in fields with direct workforce entry points rather than grad-school-dependent pathways. Across 86 programs serving roughly 6,547 students annually, 56 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold, and several carry nationally competitive positions [per the program-ranking methodology](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). The strongest national rank belongs to Finance, where 198 graduates earn median earnings of $129,879 four years after enrollment — Azimuth ranks the program #11 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management is another standout: Azimuth ranks it #2 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 209 graduates earning $118,606. Among the largest programs, Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences program graduates 306 students annually with median earnings of $68,321, and Azimuth ranks it #5 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Human Development, Family Studies, and Related Services (300 graduates, $28,906 in median earnings) and Accounting (269 graduates, $96,632) round out the high-enrollment core. Finance, Accounting (median earnings of $96,632), and Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences are high-mobility programs where four-year earnings reflect direct labor-market outcomes — graduates move into accounting, technology, and management roles where employer demand remains strong. Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management and Finance, by contrast, include a meaningful share of graduates who continue to graduate or professional school, meaning four-year earnings undercount the full trajectory.
