The strongest rankings at University of Miami cluster in its highest-earning programs. Azimuth ranks Finance #19 among nonprofit four-year institutions for median earnings four years after enrollment, with a cohort of 256 graduates earning $110,240.

See how Azimuth evaluates programs for the full methodology. The most popular programs by graduate volume — Finance (256 graduates), Nursing (253 graduates), and Psychology, General (206 graduates) — reflect the university's applied-professional orientation and its positioning in a major financial and healthcare market. Several of these large-cohort programs are high-mobility direct-to-workforce pathways where four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes; others, particularly in the life and health sciences, are grad-school-dependent fields where a meaningful share of graduates continue to medical or graduate programs and four-year figures undercount long-run trajectory. The supply and demand for college graduates provides context for how these program families align with national labor-market trends.
