Top Ranked Programs
Cuny Queens College's program mix is anchored in Social Sciences, with meaningful enrollment across education, business, and psychology — a portfolio that reflects the institution's role as a broad-access public university in New York City. Social Sciences accounts for 21% of graduates, followed by Business at 13% and Education at 9%. Across 38 programs serving roughly 3,563 students annually, 25 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. Psychology, General is the program that combines the largest cohort scale with strong earnings, making it a central driver of the institution's overall financial outcomes. Psychology, General is the largest program with 691 graduates, followed by Economics (357 graduates) and Accounting (337 graduates). On the earnings side, Computer Science leads with median earnings of $112,903 four years after enrollment from a cohort of 311 graduates — Azimuth ranks the program #47 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Subject-Specific Teacher Education follows with median earnings of $76,925 from 139 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #1 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Accounting program graduates 337 students with median earnings of $69,956, and Azimuth ranks it #96 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Several of Cuny Queens College's strongest-earning programs — particularly Computer Science and Subject-Specific Teacher Education — are fields where graduates typically enter the workforce directly, and four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes. Programs like Psychology, General and Accounting, by contrast, include meaningful shares of graduates who continue to graduate or professional school, where four-year earnings undercount the full career trajectory. The [supply-demand map for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) provides context for how these fields align with broader national wage and hiring trends, which is especially relevant for students choosing among Cuny Queens College's diverse program offerings.
