Top Ranked Programs
Delaware State University's program mix is anchored in health and applied professional fields, with Health representing the largest share of degree output. The university serves 662 students annually across 24 programs, with 14 meeting Azimuth's ranking threshold. The largest programs by graduate count include Kinesiology, Nursing, Psychology, General, Communication and Media Studies, and Business Administration — a mix that reflects the institution's orientation toward health sciences, social services, and applied business fields. The highest-earning programs at Delaware State University are anchored in health and technical fields. Azimuth ranks Nursing #164 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $94,568 from a cohort of 65 graduates. Azimuth ranks Business Administration #329 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $59,689. Azimuth ranks Social Work #120 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $56,937. Several of the institution's largest programs — including Kinesiology and Nursing — lead into local-labor and public-service career pathways where four-year earnings reflect stable, in-demand roles rather than high-mobility national markets. The highest-earning programs, by contrast, are direct-to-workforce pathways where graduates enter the labor market immediately and earnings reflect near-term sector demand.
