Two programs carry the earnings picture at Haverford College, and they sit far apart. Economics graduates earn a median of $112,050 four years after completion, from 23 degrees awarded. Political Science, the largest program with published earnings at 35 degrees a year, reports $62,242. The gap between the two is wide, and the higher-earning field is the smaller one. A student choosing between them is choosing between very different earnings outcomes four years out. With only 2 programs reporting earnings, the view is narrow. The available figures show one program earning well above the national median for its field and the other close to it. ### Major mix · each dot ≈ 1% of completions Share of reported completions in the bachelor’s programs included here.

[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Azimuth evaluates bachelor's programs at Haverford College by four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Earnings data cover 2 fields, and outcomes vary widely between them. Social Sciences make up 25.5% of degrees awarded, with Biological Sciences at 15.1% and Psychology at 11.3%. Economics graduates report the highest four-year earnings, at $112,050, from 23 degrees conferred in one academic year. Political Science is the largest program with published earnings, at 35 degrees awarded annually. Program earnings cover federally aided completers. Its completers earn $62,242 four years after completion. That figure is 0.98x the national median for the field. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
