The affordability rank reflects both the headline sticker price and the debt load graduates carry; [net price and sticker price can differ substantially](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/), and understanding that gap matters when comparing institutions.

Mcphs University's program mix is concentrated almost entirely in health and pharmaceutical sciences — a focused portfolio that reflects the institution's identity as a specialized health professions university in Boston. Nursing anchors the degree output, combining substantial cohort scale with strong four-year earnings that make it the single largest driver of the institution's overall return profile.

Across 10 programs serving roughly 927 students annually, the curriculum is built around direct-to-workforce health pathways rather than broad liberal arts or STEM distribution. The highest-earning programs at Mcphs University reflect the institution's depth in clinical and pharmaceutical fields.

The most popular programs by graduate volume — Nursing, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, and Administration, and Health/Medical Preparatory Programs — are high-mobility, direct-to-workforce pathways where graduates enter licensed clinical or pharmaceutical roles immediately after completing their degrees.

These fields align with sectors showing sustained national demand, as mapped in [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/). The concentration in health professions means that Mcphs University's earnings profile is unusually consistent across programs — graduates across the degree portfolio enter fields with structured licensing requirements and stable employer demand, producing narrower variation in outcomes than institutions with broader, more mixed program portfolios.
