At Frostburg State University, Engineering sets the higher-earning end among the fields shown, with median earnings of $99,671 four years after completion and 19 degrees awarded. Nursing also falls at that end, posting $86,331 across 139 degrees awarded. Those fields pair higher reported earnings with markedly different numbers of degrees awarded. More moderate earnings appear in Psychology, where the median is $50,210 four years after completion and 93 degrees were awarded. Teacher Education records $51,478 with 65 degrees awarded. The contrast between these fields and the higher-earning programs shows why the school-level earnings figure does not describe every field equally. ### Major mix · each dot ≈ 1% of completions Share of reported completions in the bachelor’s programs included here.
