Top Ranked Programs
Drew University's program mix is anchored in the social sciences, humanities, and professional fields — a portfolio reflecting the institution's identity as a private liberal arts research university. Business Administration is the largest program with 50 graduates, followed by Psychology, General, Biology, General, Political Science, and English Language and Literature, General. Across 22 programs, 0 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold, with several delivering solid four-year earnings outcomes aligned with national labor-market demand. The earnings pattern reflects Social Sciences as the institutional anchor. Economics leads with median earnings of $90,814 four years after enrollment, followed by Business Administration at $76,232, Romance Languages, Literatures, and Linguistic, Comparative, and Related Language Studies and Services at $69,293, Political Science at $66,965, and Psychology, General at $65,997. These fields represent a mix of direct-to-workforce and graduate-school-dependent pathways, with professional programs in business and education offering clearer early-career earnings signals, while humanities and social science subfields often serve as preparation for graduate or professional study. Several of the institution's highest-earning programs are high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the national labor market directly and earnings reflect immediate workforce outcomes. Others — particularly in psychology, philosophy, and classical studies — are grad-school-dependent fields where four-year earnings undercount the trajectory of graduates who continue to graduate or professional school.
