[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at Ohio Northern University vary by field of study, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s evaluate four-year earnings among completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Earnings data are published for 12 programs, and the degree mix is concentrated in a few professional fields. Engineering accounts for 26.5% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Business at 18.7% and Health Professions at 10.0%. The largest single program is Mechanical Engineering, with 67 degrees awarded in a year and median earnings of $85,802 four years after completion. Industrial Production Technologies/Technicians graduates report the highest earnings at $89,697, from 17 degrees awarded annually. Award counts reflect degrees conferred in one academic year, not distinct students, and program earnings cover completers four years after completion. Accounting graduates report a median of $84,916 and Nursing graduates report a median of $83,157. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
