[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at University of Scranton vary sharply by field, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 20 programs with published earnings data. The three largest program families are Business, at 22.2% of degrees awarded, Health Professions at 18.9%, and Biological Sciences at 15.8%. The largest single program is Nursing, with 74 degrees awarded and median earnings of $105,353 four years after completion, which is 1.19x the national median for the field. Biology follows at 66 degrees awarded and earnings of $64,774, while Accounting graduates earn $93,677 from 63 degrees a year. The highest earnings among the largest programs belong to Nursing, and the spread between that figure and the earnings in Biology shows how much the choice of field matters here. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
