Top Ranked Programs
University of Michigan-Dearborn's program mix is anchored in Engineering, which accounts for 23% of graduates — the largest concentration by field. Business represents 22% of degrees and Social Sciences adds another 7%, giving the institution an applied-professional and technical orientation. Across 42 programs serving roughly 1,498 students annually, 20 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold — a focused portfolio where engineering and business subfields drive the strongest financial outcomes. Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering combines the largest cohort with strong earnings, making it the program that contributes most to University of Michigan-Dearborn's overall return profile.
