Further analysis
Outcomes at Manhattan University vary sharply by field, and Azimuth's program rankings evaluate what completers earn rather than reputation. The rankings weigh four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size.
Of the university's 20 programs with published earnings data, 14 carry an Azimuth national rank. The degree mix is concentrated in two families: Engineering accounts for 29.0% of bachelor's degrees awarded, and Business for 25.2%.
Social Sciences is a distant third at 7.7%. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, not a count of students.
The largest single program, Civil Engineering, awarded 99 degrees and ranks #12 nationally in its field, with graduates earning a median of $95,877 four years after completion. Electrical Engineering posts the highest earnings at $100,884, though it is a smaller program at 19 degrees awarded.
Special Education and Teaching stands out on return: it ranks #1 nationally and its completers earn 1.66x the national median for the field.
