How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

Outcomes at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University vary sharply by field, and the largest programs are not the highest-earning ones. Azimuth ranks 14 programs here, evaluating four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation.

Earnings data are published for 18 programs; award counts reflect degrees conferred in a single academic year. The degree mix centers on Health Professions, which accounts for 25.1% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Business at 12.1% and Security & Protective Services at 8.0%.

The largest single program, Health Sciences, awards 281 degrees a year and ranks #55 nationally within its field, with graduates earning a median of $46,081 four years after completion. The highest earnings, however, come from a much smaller program: Construction Engineering Technology/Technician graduates earn $98,272, from just 12 degrees awarded.

Accounting follows at $85,522, and Computer and Information Sciences at $83,041, which Azimuth ranks #160 in its field. Across all programs, 13.8% of degrees awarded are in STEM fields.
