Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Pillar College's program mix is anchored in Psychology, which accounts for 17% of degree output, with Education representing an additional 6% of graduates. This concentration reflects the college's identity as a faith-rooted institution oriented toward human services, counseling, and community-facing careers — a profile more common among smaller private nonprofits than among large research universities. The largest program by graduate volume is Psychology, General, with 30 graduates earning median earnings of $49,543 four years after enrollment, followed by Business Administration with 8 graduates earning $61,165, and Bible/Biblical Studies with 6 graduates. The highest-earning program in the Azimuth coverage set is Business Administration, where 8 graduates earn median earnings of $61,165 four years after enrollment. Azimuth ranks Psychology, General #121 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 30 graduates earning $49,543. Many of Pillar College's dominant program families — particularly Psychology and human-services-adjacent fields — are grad-school-dependent pathways, meaning four-year earnings figures undercount the longer-term trajectory of graduates who continue to counseling licensure programs, social work graduate study, or ministry training. Students planning direct-to-workforce entry will find the strongest near-term earnings in Psychology, General, while those pursuing graduate or professional credentials should weigh the supply and demand for college graduates in their intended field before drawing conclusions from four-year earnings alone.
