Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Cuny Lehman College's program mix is anchored in Health, with substantial enrollment in social sciences, psychology, and education. Psychology, General is the largest program with 319 graduates, followed by Business Administration, Health Administration, Sociology, and Nursing. Across 39 programs serving roughly 2,818 students annually, 28 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. The Nursing program combines meaningful cohort scale with strong earnings, making it a key contributor to the institution's overall financial outcomes. The strongest earnings come from health-related and applied fields. Azimuth ranks Nursing #26 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 167 graduates earning $119,115. Azimuth ranks Computer Science #145 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $85,351. The Accounting program graduates 160 students and earns $66,240 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #162 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions. By contrast, larger programs like Business Administration and Health Administration show more moderate early-career earnings of $62,496 and $57,722 respectively, reflecting fields where graduate study or credentialing often extends the earnings trajectory beyond the four-year window. The split between health-oriented programs and social-science or education pathways shapes how graduates enter the labor market. Nursing and health fields are high-mobility pathways where four-year earnings reflect direct workforce entry into stable, in-demand roles across New York's healthcare sector. Psychology and social-science programs are more often grad-school-dependent, where four-year earnings undercount the lifetime trajectory of graduates who continue to clinical, counseling, or research credentials.
