Business/Commerce, General (72 graduates, $65,447 median earnings) and Biology, General (53 graduates, $59,820 median earnings) round out the largest programs and represent pathways where four-year earnings may undercount lifetime trajectory, since a meaningful share of graduates in these fields continue to graduate or professional school. The business and health-oriented programs, by contrast, channel graduates more directly into the workforce, where four-year earnings better reflect labor-market outcomes.
