Further analysis
At Lake Superior State University, the choice of field matters because program outcomes do not all point in the same direction. The largest share of bachelor’s degrees awarded falls in Security & Protective Services, at 17.7%, followed by Health Professions at 13.6% and Business at 13.3%.
Those shares describe degrees awarded, and the award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year rather than counts of individuals. Azimuth’s program rankings assess four-year earnings among completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation.
Earnings data are available for 7 programs. Among the larger programs, Nursing awarded 40 degrees and has median earnings of $70,959 four years after completion.
Criminal Justice awarded 38 degrees, with median earnings of $58,286, while Fishing and Fisheries Sciences and Management awarded 26 degrees and has median earnings of $44,090. These earnings figures cover program completers four years after completion.
