## Further analysis

At Susquehanna University, outcomes vary 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. Azimuth does not assign national ranks to programs here.

Earnings data are published for 16 fields. Bachelor's degrees awarded cluster most heavily in Business, at 24.8%, followed by Biological Sciences at 16.3% and Communication & Journalism at 12.1%.

Psychology is the single largest program, with 51 degrees awarded a year and median graduate earnings of $47,367 four years after completion. The top-earning field is Accounting, at $92,279, from 19 degrees a year.

Each program's award figure is the number of degrees conferred in one academic year, not a count of students, and earnings figures cover completers four years after completion. Across all fields, 22.2% of degrees awarded are in STEM.
