St. Francis College Majors & Programs

Updated

Which majors earn the most at St. Francis College?

Nursing sets the upper end of program earnings at St. Francis College, where field choice makes a substantial difference four years after completion. Its median earnings are $112,171, alongside 82 degrees awarded.

Accounting also sits on the higher-earning side, with $82,993 in median earnings and 28 degrees awarded. The middle of the range includes Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences, with median earnings of $59,885 and 33 degrees awarded.

How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

Outcomes at St. Francis College vary sharply by field, and Azimuth's program rankings evaluate four-year earnings among completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Of the 8 programs with published earnings data, 5 carries a national rank, so the earnings figures themselves do most of the work.

The degree mix leans toward health and business. Health Professions accounts for 32.6% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Business at 16.3% and Communication & Journalism at 9.8%.

Nursing is the largest single program, at 82 degrees a year, and its completers earn a median of $112,171 four years after graduating — the highest figure on the page. Business Administration and Management, the second-largest at 44 degrees, earns $51,556 and Azimuth ranks it #329 nationally and #30 in New York.

The spread between the top-earning program and the rest is the central fact here: Nursing earns more than twice what Biology does, and the next-highest earner, Accounting, sits at $82,993 from 28 degrees a year.
