Top Ranked Programs
Heritage University's program mix is centered on Public Administration and applied social-service fields — a signature consistent with a small nonprofit institution serving a rural community in Washington's Yakima Valley. Education accounts for 18% of graduates and Business accounts for 15%, together defining the institution's academic identity. Social Work is the largest program with 61 graduates, followed by Teacher Education with 35 graduates, Nursing with 21 graduates, Business Administration with 20 graduates, and Criminal Justice with 17 graduates. The strongest earnings outcomes cluster in social-work and education-adjacent fields. Azimuth ranks Teacher Education #20 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with graduates earning $60,999. Azimuth ranks Social Work #6 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with graduates earning $58,634. Many of Heritage University's dominant programs — particularly Business Administration and Criminal Justice — feed directly into local-labor careers in education and social services, where graduates serve the surrounding community rather than relocating nationally. Teacher Education represents a grad-school-dependent pathway where four-year earnings may undercount lifetime trajectory for graduates who continue to advanced clinical practice.
