## Further analysis

Outcomes at University of Indianapolis vary sharply by field, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has published earnings data for 16 programs.

The degree mix centers on Business, which accounts for 23.2% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Health Professions at 17.3% and Parks, Recreation & Fitness at 10.3%. The largest single program is Nursing, conferring 128 degrees a year with median earnings of $83,156 four years after completion.

Finance graduates report the highest median among the largest programs at $86,923, from a smaller cohort of 66 degrees awarded. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers.

The gap between the largest program's earnings and the highest-earning one is a reminder that scale and pay do not always align.
