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. Business Administration and Management reports $51,556 across 44 degrees awarded; [Azimuth ranks](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) that program #329 nationally in its field. The contrast between these moderate-earning fields and the higher figures in nursing and accounting shows why the overall earnings figure does not describe every program equally. ### Major mix · each dot ≈ 1% of completions Share of reported completions in the bachelor’s programs included here.

[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at St. Francis College vary sharply by field, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s 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. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
