Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
University of the Pacific's program mix is anchored in Biological Sciences, with additional strength in health-sciences and business-adjacent fields. Business accounts for 15% of graduates, Engineering represents 9%, and Social Sciences makes up 5% — a distribution that reflects the university's identity as a mid-sized private institution balancing pre-professional and liberal-arts pathways. Across 35 programs serving roughly 841 students annually, 15 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold. The highest-earning programs cluster in health and applied sciences. Interdisciplinary Studies leads with median earnings of $171,261 four years after enrollment from a cohort of 81 graduates, and Azimuth ranks the program #1 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Computer Science follows at $147,511 with 68 graduates, and Azimuth ranks it #33 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Mechanical Engineering program graduates 17 students with median earnings of $99,573. Among the most popular programs, Biology, General graduates the largest cohort at 138 students with median earnings of $83,012, while The Business Administration program graduates 98 students and The Interdisciplinary Studies program graduates 81 students. Several of University of the Pacific's biological-sciences programs are grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because a meaningful share of graduates continue to medical, dental, or graduate school. Health-sciences programs like Interdisciplinary Studies and Computer Science, by contrast, are high-mobility programs where graduates enter the workforce directly and earnings reflect supply and demand for college graduates in their respective fields. The program-ranking methodology provides additional context for how Azimuth evaluates these programs relative to national peers. ```
