Further analysis
At University of Central Missouri, what a graduate earns four years after completing a degree depends heavily on the field they chose. Azimuth's program rankings are designed to make that variation clear, evaluating outcomes by median earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation.
The university has 39 programs with published earnings data. The degree mix is led by Education, which accounts for 16.4% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Health Professions at 12.3% and Business at 11.3%.
The largest single program is Teacher Education, at 190 degrees a year, where graduates earn a median of $38,807. The highest earnings belong to a much smaller program: Construction Management graduates earn $96,186, from 27 degrees a year.
Nursing, the second-largest program, reports $80,542. Award counts are degrees conferred in one academic year, not a count of students, and program earnings cover federally aided completers. Across all fields, 24.9% of degrees awarded are in STEM.
