[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis At Stockton University, the field chosen matters because outcomes vary across programs. The largest degree families are Business, with 20.5% of degrees awarded; Health Professions, with 19.4%; and Social Sciences, with 10.7%. These shares describe degrees awarded, not the number of people enrolled. [Azimuth ranks](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) 21 programs and has four-year earnings data for 26. Its program rankings weigh four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, while earnings describe federally aided completers four years after completion. Among nonprofit four-year institutions in their fields, Azimuth ranks Health Sciences #19, with median earnings of $63,295 four years after completion. Criminology ranks #19 and records $55,408, while Visual and Performing Arts ranks #19 with $40,199 in median earnings. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
