Top Ranked Programs
Liberty University's program mix is anchored in Business, which accounts for 19% of graduates — a concentration that shapes the institution's overall earnings profile. Education represents 6% of degrees and Arts accounts for 4%, rounding out a portfolio weighted toward applied-professional fields. Across 67 programs serving roughly 10,012 students annually, 40 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold — a ratio that reflects the institution's breadth but also signals that many programs have cohorts or earnings data too limited for national comparison. The strongest national rank belongs to Air Transportation, where 440 graduates earn median earnings of $102,096 four years after enrollment; Azimuth ranks this program #2 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Nursing is another high-earning field, with 253 graduates earning $82,883, and Azimuth ranks it #288 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Among the largest programs by cohort size, Business Administration graduates 1,603 students with median earnings of $67,269, and Interdisciplinary Studies graduates 1,368 students with median earnings of $53,357. Psychology, General adds further scale at 1,211 graduates earning $45,340. The earnings gap between Liberty University's highest- and lowest-earning ranked programs is wide, reflecting a mix of career-entry pathways. Aviation and nursing graduates tend to enter the workforce directly with strong starting pay, while fields like psychology and interdisciplinary studies show more moderate four-year earnings — a pattern partly explained by the share of graduates in those fields who continue to graduate study before their earnings fully materialize.
