Top Ranked Programs
University of Louisiana At Monroe's program mix is anchored in health and applied professional fields — a signature consistent with its regional university identity in northern Louisiana. Psychology, General is the largest program with 169 graduates annually, followed by Nursing, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, and Administration, and General Studies. The dominant program family is Health, which shapes both the institution's enrollment profile and its strongest earnings outcomes. Across 22 ranked programs serving roughly 1,096 students annually, the highest aggregate return comes from Nursing — a program that combines meaningful cohort scale with strong four-year earnings relative to its peers. The strongest earnings outcomes are concentrated in health-adjacent and applied fields. Azimuth ranks Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration, and Administration #3 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 68 graduates earning $134,329. Nursing follows with 122 graduates earning $83,058, ranked #156 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Insurance and Business Administration round out the top-earning cluster, with graduates earning $67,704 and $52,842 respectively four years after enrollment — fields where direct workforce entry is the norm and early salaries reflect stable regional labor-market demand. Several of the institution's most popular programs follow grad-school-dependent pathways, where four-year earnings undercount longer-term trajectory. Nursing and Business Administration are fields where many graduates continue to graduate or professional study, making early earnings a partial signal at best. By contrast, Psychology, General and the health-sciences cluster represent high-mobility direct-to-workforce pathways where four-year earnings closely reflect labor-market outcomes.
