[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at University of Northwestern-St Paul depend heavily on the field a student chooses. The university has 15 programs with published earnings data, and the degree mix is concentrated in a few families: Theology accounts for 33.3% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Health Professions at 14.3% and Business at 12.2%. The largest single program is Bible/Biblical Studies, with 192 degrees awarded in a year and median earnings of $51,761 four years after completion. Nursing is both the second-largest program at 84 degrees awarded and the highest-earning, with a median of $78,661. Business Administration and Management rounds out the top three by size at 34 degrees awarded and median earnings of $68,086. Award counts reflect degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers. The spread between the largest program and the best-paid one is wide. A student drawn to the largest departments should know that the highest earnings sit in a smaller program. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
