Top Ranked Programs
Saint Peter's University's program mix is anchored in business and applied professional fields, a signature consistent with its identity as a small Jesuit university serving a diverse urban student body in Jersey City. The dominant program family is Business, which shapes both the scale and earnings profile of the institution's degree output. Across 22 programs, the mix reflects a practical, career-oriented curriculum designed to move graduates into the regional labor market. The highest aggregate-return program is Business Administration, which combines meaningful cohort scale with competitive median earnings four years after enrollment — making it the single largest contributor to the institution's overall financial outcomes. Business Administration is the most-enrolled program, with 67 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #283 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $58,634. Biology, General, with 53 graduates, and Criminal Justice, with 46 graduates, round out the high-enrollment tier, with median earnings of $61,502 and $56,438 respectively four years after enrollment. The highest-earning programs reflect the institution's applied business and professional concentration. Azimuth ranks Nursing #162 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $100,199. Accounting and Teacher Education also post strong median earnings of $72,212 and $62,040 four years after enrollment, respectively. These programs represent high-mobility, direct-to-workforce pathways where graduates enter the New York metropolitan labor market and earnings reflect near-term placement outcomes.
