Top Ranked Programs
College of Staten Island Cuny's program mix is anchored in Psychology, which accounts for 18% of graduates — a concentration that shapes the institution's overall earnings profile. Social Sciences and Education round out the next-largest program families at 10% and 6% respectively. Across 32 programs serving roughly 1,694 students annually, 19 meet Azimuth's [ranking threshold](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). The mix leans toward social-science and health-adjacent fields rather than engineering or computer science, which means the institution's earnings signature reflects career paths in education, healthcare, and public-sector work more than high-mobility technology or finance roles. The strongest earnings come from Computer Science, where 85 graduates earn median earnings of $89,093 four years after enrollment — Azimuth ranks the program #141 for median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Teacher Education follows with median earnings of $75,637, and Azimuth ranks it #2 for median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Psychology, General is the largest program by cohort size at 357 graduates, with median earnings of $59,741. Business/Commerce, General (212 graduates, $60,530) and English Language and Literature, General (120 graduates, $53,083) are the next-largest programs. Several of College of Staten Island Cuny's higher-earning programs — particularly Computer Science and Teacher Education — feed into local-labor and public-sector career tracks where demand remains steady in the New York metro area. Psychology, General, the dominant program by enrollment, is largely a grad-school-dependent pathway where four-year earnings undercount the trajectory of graduates who continue to clinical or research programs.
