Further analysis
At Denison University, the earnings picture differs across fields, so a schoolwide outcome does not tell the whole story. The largest program families are Social Sciences, with 21.8% of bachelor's degrees awarded; Communication & Journalism, with 9.6%; and Biological Sciences, with 9.0%.
Azimuth's program rankings assess four-year earnings among completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Earnings data are available for 6 programs, covering federally aided completers four years after completion.
The degree totals here are degrees awarded in one academic year, not a count of people. Economics shows median earnings of $97,394, compared with $66,730 for Communication and Media Studies and $65,429 for Education.
