[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis The return on a degree at University of New Haven varies sharply by field of study. [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s assess four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has published earnings data for 23 bachelor's programs, and the figures below show that the largest programs are not the highest-paying ones. The degree mix is concentrated in protective services. Security & Protective Services accounts for 41.1% of bachelor's degrees awarded, with Business a distant second at 12.5% and Health Professions third at 8.4%. The largest single program, Criminal Justice, awarded 237 degrees and its completers earn a median of $60,656 four years after completion. The highest earnings come from engineering, though these programs graduate far fewer students. Electrical Engineering completers earn a median of $90,042 from 12 degrees awarded, and Mechanical Engineering completers earn $89,099 from 32 degrees. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
