Further analysis
Azimuth scores bachelor's fields by what federally aided completers earn four years after completion, together with median debt and cohort size, not reputation. North Central College publishes four-year earnings for 21 programs, and the medians vary sharply by field.
Business accounts for 29.4% of bachelor's degrees awarded, well ahead of Psychology at 11.5% and Social Sciences at 9.1%. Psychology is the largest program, with 71 degrees awarded in one academic year; its completers earn a median of $52,062 four years after completion.
