Top Ranked Programs
University of North Florida's program mix is anchored in Business, which accounts for 19% of graduates — the largest concentration by field. Social Sciences follows at 5%, and Engineering at 5%, giving the university a business-and-health-oriented portfolio typical of regional public universities serving a large metro workforce. Across 43 programs serving roughly 3,488 students annually, 39 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. The highest aggregate return major — Nursing — combines strong enrollment with solid earnings, making it a central driver of the institution's overall financial outcomes. Among the largest programs, Research Psychology program graduates 306 students annually with median earnings of $45,521 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #32 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, General program graduates 301 students with median earnings of $53,540, and Azimuth ranks it #33 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Nursing (214 graduates, $79,454 in median earnings) and Communication and Media Studies (211 graduates, $54,360) round out the high-enrollment programs. On the earnings side, Nursing leads with median earnings of $79,454 four years after enrollment from a cohort of 214 graduates, and Azimuth ranks the program #243 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Finance follows at $75,475 with 149 graduates. The earnings leaders at University of North Florida cluster in applied business and health fields — sectors with steady employer demand in the Jacksonville metro and across Florida. Programs like Business Administration ($65,768 in median earnings, 211 graduates) and Digital Marketing ($62,294, 147 graduates) reflect this applied-professional orientation.
