Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Our Lady of the Lake University's program mix is anchored in public administration, social services, and applied human-sciences fields — a signature consistent with the university's mission-driven identity as a Catholic institution serving San Antonio and the broader South Texas region. Public Administration represents the largest concentration of degree output, reflecting the university's long-standing orientation toward community-facing careers in government, nonprofit management, and social work. Across 15 programs, 7 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold, collectively serving roughly 238 students annually. Social Work anchors the institution's strongest aggregate return, combining meaningful cohort scale with competitive earnings for a university of this size and mission profile. Among the most-enrolled programs, Social Work program graduates 43 students with median earnings of $51,943 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #88 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Psychology, General and Criminal Justice follow as the next largest programs, with graduates earning $39,524 and $53,505 respectively four years after enrollment, reflecting the university's concentration in applied social and human-services fields where stable, community-embedded employment is the typical outcome. The highest-earning programs at Our Lady of the Lake University cluster in business-adjacent and applied-professional fields. Kinesiology leads on earnings, with graduates earning median earnings of $53,882 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #128 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Criminal Justice and Social Work also post competitive early-career figures of $53,505 and $51,943 respectively, representing the institution's strongest direct-to-workforce pathways. Programs in social work, counseling, and public administration — while central to the university's identity — are often grad-school-dependent or public-sector-oriented, meaning four-year earnings figures undercount the longer-term trajectory for graduates who pursue licensure or advanced credentials. The supply and demand for college graduates provides context for how these program families align with regional labor-market demand in South Texas.
