## Further analysis

Four years after completion, earnings at Capital University vary more by major than by any institutional average. [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s sort fields by median earnings among federally aided completers, debt levels and cohort size rather than reputation.

Azimuth holds four-year earnings data for 19 bachelor's programs. Award totals are degrees awarded in one academic year, not counts of distinct students, and the earnings figures cover federally aided completers.

Bachelor's degrees are concentrated in three fields: Health Professions accounts for 16.3% of degrees awarded, Business for 14.3% and Education for 13.6%. The single largest program is Nursing, with 81 degrees awarded annually.

The best-paid field is Business/Managerial Economics, where graduates earn $84,669 from just 7 degrees awarded a year. Accounting follows at $79,157, and Nursing also places among the top earners at $77,807.
