St. John's University-New York places its return in the 89th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Four years after completion, graduates earn a median of $77,868, a level in the 86th percentile nationally.

Program-level figures explain the range. Allied Health Professions graduates earn $142,774 four years after completion, from 23 degrees awarded a year.

Management Science follows at $109,396, and Finance, a larger program at 131 degrees, reaches $98,970.

An estimated 32.1% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, the median earnings understate the eventual earnings of the sizable share of completers who pursue advanced degrees.
