Top Ranked Programs
Rowan University's program mix is anchored in Business, which accounts for 16% of degree output, followed by Engineering at 8% and Education at 8%. That applied-professional concentration shapes the institution's earnings profile: the largest programs by cohort size tend to sit in fields with direct workforce entry points rather than grad-school-dependent pathways. Psychology, General is the largest program with 432 graduates, followed by Business Administration (310 graduates), Biology, General (307 graduates), Criminal Justice (259 graduates), and Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication (190 graduates). Business Administration combines strong enrollment scale with solid earnings, making it a key driver of Rowan University's overall financial outcomes. On the earnings side, Artificial Intelligence leads with median earnings of $86,475 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #107 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Accounting follows at $76,524 with a cohort of 125 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #148 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Finance program graduates 153 students and earns $75,697, while Azimuth ranks the program #140 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Several of Rowan University's strongest programs are high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the workforce directly — particularly in business, engineering, and health fields where four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes. Programs in biology and psychology are more likely grad-school-dependent, where four-year earnings undercount the lifetime trajectory of graduates who continue to medical or graduate study. Across 57 programs serving roughly 4,223 students annually, 41 meet Azimuth's [ranking threshold](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/), and the concentration in applied-professional fields helps explain why the institution's earnings outcomes skew toward direct workforce entry. The [supply-demand map](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) provides additional context for how these program families align with national labor-market demand.
