Top Ranked Programs
Emory University's program mix is anchored in Social Sciences, with Social Sciences accounting for 15% of graduates, followed by Business at 14% and other STEM fields at 5%. The concentration in social-sciences and biology-adjacent fields gives Emory University a program signature closer to liberal-arts-oriented research universities than to engineering-heavy peers. Business Administration is the largest program by combined enrollment and earnings scale, graduating 358 students annually with median earnings of $136,731 four years after enrollment. Across 44 programs serving roughly 2,648 students annually, 22 meet Azimuth's [ranking threshold](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). The strongest national ranks cluster in quantitative and applied fields. Azimuth ranks Computer Science #26 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 82 graduates earning $159,541. Azimuth ranks Business Administration #5 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $136,731, and Azimuth ranks Economics #40 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 178 graduates earning $111,631. Among the most-enrolled programs, Nursing program graduates 297 students with median earnings of $101,903, and the The Biology, General program graduates 203 students with median earnings of $70,959. Several of Emory University's largest programs — including Economics and Neurobiology and Neurosciences — are grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because a meaningful share of graduates continue to medical, law, or doctoral programs. Computer Science and Business Administration, by contrast, are high-mobility programs where graduates enter the workforce directly and four-year earnings more closely reflect labor-market outcomes.
