Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Cuny Hunter College's program mix is centered on Psychology, which accounts for 14% of graduates — a concentration that shapes the institution's overall earnings profile and reflects its identity as a liberal-arts-oriented public college in New York City. Arts represents 6% of degree output and other STEM fields accounts for 4%, rounding out a portfolio that leans toward social sciences, health, and humanities rather than engineering or computer science. The largest programs by cohort size are Psychology, General (673 graduates), Human Biology (442 graduates), and Computer Science (276 graduates), with English Language and Literature, General and Biology, General also graduating substantial cohorts. Across 40 programs serving roughly 3,643 students annually, 28 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. The strongest earnings come from fields outside the dominant psychology concentration. Azimuth ranks Nursing #32 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment per the program-ranking methodology, with graduates earning $116,361 — the highest four-year earnings at the institution. Azimuth ranks Computer Science #73 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $102,321, and Azimuth ranks Human Biology #1 nationally with graduates earning $83,420. Psychology, General, the largest program, produces median earnings of $59,149 four years out — a figure that reflects the grad-school-dependent nature of the field, where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory for graduates who continue to clinical or research programs. The Psychology department offers a Research Psychology Concentration and an honors program, per the department's curriculum page, signaling structured pathways into graduate study. Several of Cuny Hunter College's highest-earning programs — including Economics (graduates earning $69,920) and Biology, General (graduates earning $59,204) — are high-mobility pathways where graduates enter New York City's labor market directly and four-year earnings reflect actual workforce outcomes. Psychology, by contrast, functions primarily as a grad-school feeder where the full return materializes over a longer horizon. The provides context for how these program families align with national labor-market demand. ```
