Business Administration is the largest program with 71 graduates, followed by Biology, General, Neurobiology and Neurosciences, Chemistry, and Psychology, General. The Biological Sciences concentration—representing 16% of degrees—reflects the college's strength in pre-professional and science-focused pathways, complemented by Business at 13% and other STEM fields at 9%. Among 0 ranked programs, several deliver strong four-year earnings outcomes. Economics leads with median earnings of $82,950 for 23 graduates, followed by Computer Science at $78,973 and Business Administration at $77,838. Political Science graduates earn $72,062, and Biology, General reaches $50,036. These earnings patterns reflect the college's emphasis on pre-professional preparation and quantitative fields where graduates enter the workforce directly into stable, well-compensated roles. Several of Rhodes College's strongest programs are grad-school-dependent pathways—particularly those in the biological sciences and chemistry—where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because a meaningful share of graduates continue to medical school, dental school, or graduate study. The college's success in supporting students toward advanced-degree programs is a distinctive institutional strength. The [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) provides context for how these pre-professional fields align with national labor-market demand and graduate-school pipeline outcomes.
