[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at Marist University vary sharply by field of study, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 21 programs with published earnings data. The degree mix is concentrated in Business, which accounts for 32.1% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Communication & Journalism at 15.1% and Psychology at 9.7%. The largest single program, Business Administration and Management, confers 270 degrees a year and its completers earn a median of $90,855 four years after completion. The highest earnings come from a much smaller program: Economics graduates earn $118,557, from just 21 degrees awarded annually. Computer Science follows at $111,893 with 46 degrees awarded. Award counts reflect degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
