Allied Health Professions stands apart in the program earnings picture, with median earnings of $105,387 four years after completion and 41 degrees awarded. Health and Medical Administrative Services also sits in the higher-earning group at $95,128, though its 5 degrees awarded represent a much smaller annual program count. Computer and Information Sciences combines median earnings of $92,789 with 44 degrees awarded, placing another technical field near the upper end of the selected programs. By contrast, Teacher Education reports $49,883 four years after completion across 81 degrees awarded. The difference between these higher- and more moderate-earning fields shows why the schoolwide earnings figure can conceal substantial variation by field. ### Major mix · each dot ≈ 1% of completions Share of reported completions in the bachelor’s programs included here.
