Top Ranked Programs
University of Massachusetts-Boston's program mix is anchored in Health, with meaningful concentrations in Business at 15%, Social Sciences at 10%, and Education at 2%. The largest program by graduates is Nursing with 483 completers, followed by Business Administration (433 graduates), Psychology, General (274 graduates), Biology, General (222 graduates), and Kinesiology (170 graduates). Across 34 programs serving roughly 2,834 students annually, 22 meet Azimuth's [ranking threshold](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). The strongest earnings outcomes cluster in health and applied fields. Nursing leads with median earnings of $95,648 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #67 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Artificial Intelligence follows at $83,405 with 137 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #96 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Business Administration program graduates 433 students and earns $72,746, while Economics earns $70,552 with 94 graduates. Nursing combines strong enrollment scale with solid pay, making it a key contributor to the institution's overall earnings profile. Several of University of Massachusetts-Boston's health-oriented programs — particularly Nursing and Artificial Intelligence — feed directly into Boston's deep healthcare labor market, where employer demand remains strong. Programs like Psychology, General and Kinesiology are more likely grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory.
