Top Ranked Programs
Thomas Jefferson University's program mix is defined by its Health concentration, with Business accounting for 8% of graduates and Arts representing 5%. Engineering adds another 72%, rounding out a portfolio tightly oriented toward clinical, applied-health, and science fields. Across 24 programs serving roughly 1,089 students annually, 11 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold — a focused catalog where the largest programs also tend to be the highest-earning, a pattern that concentrates financial outcomes rather than diluting them across low-return fields. Nursing anchors the institution's strongest combination of cohort scale and earnings. Nursing is the largest program with 466 graduates earning median earnings of $99,839 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks it #56 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, General program graduates 138 students with median earnings of $71,608, and Azimuth ranks it #8 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions leads with median earnings of $106,225 from a cohort of 71 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #3 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The dominant health-sciences programs — including Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions (71 graduates, $106,225) and Design and Applied Arts (57 graduates, $59,731) — are high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the workforce directly into sectors with sustained hiring demand. Philadelphia's large hospital and health-system network provides immediate employer access for these graduates. The supply-demand map for college graduates provides broader context for how health-oriented program families align with national labor-market trends, and Thomas Jefferson University's concentration in these fields positions its graduates squarely within that demand.
