[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at Calvin University vary sharply by field, and the program pages are where the return picture comes into focus. 16 programs have published earnings data, and award counts reflect degrees conferred in one academic year, not a count of distinct students. The degree mix is spread across several fields. Health Professions accounts for 12.9% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed closely by Business at 12.2% and Education at 11.4%. The largest single program is Engineering, at 75 degrees a year, and its completers earn a median of $82,326 four years after completion. The highest earnings belong to a smaller program: Computer Science graduates earn $95,410, from 35 degrees awarded. Nursing is the second-largest program, with 69 degrees and median earnings of $74,810. Across all fields, 23.3% of degrees are in STEM. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
