Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
New Jersey City University's program mix is anchored in business and applied professional fields — a signature well suited to its location in the New York metropolitan area and its mission of serving a diverse, career-focused student body. Business is the dominant program family, accounting for 22% of graduates, followed by Arts at 6% and Social Sciences at 5%. Across 26 programs serving roughly 1,203 students annually, the university concentrates its degree output in fields with direct workforce pathways rather than broad liberal-arts distribution. The highest aggregate return comes from Nursing, which combines meaningful cohort scale with competitive four-year earnings — making it the program that contributes most to New Jersey City University's overall financial outcomes. Among the most popular programs, Nursing program graduates 222 students with median earnings of $102,386 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks it #58 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Psychology, General and Business Administration round out the largest programs by cohort size, each feeding graduates into stable career pathways in the regional labor market. The institution's highest-earning programs reflect its applied-professional orientation. Nursing leads on four-year earnings at $102,386, with Azimuth ranking it #58 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Finance follows with graduates earning $71,548, and Accounting rounds out the top three with median earnings of $66,244 four years after enrollment. These programs are primarily high-mobility, direct-to-workforce pathways where four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes rather than a stepping stone to graduate study.
