Program choice matters here: earnings are much higher in several business-related fields than in prominent moderate-earning fields. Finance shows median earnings of $79,927 four years after completion, with 79 degrees awarded. Economics follows with median earnings of $79,267 and 51 degrees awarded. The contrast is clearest against two other large fields. Teacher Education records median earnings of $45,902 four years after completion and 111 degrees awarded. Psychology posts $51,721 with 85 degrees awarded. The higher figures in the business-related programs and the more moderate figures in education and psychology show how much the return picture varies by field. ### Major mix · each dot ≈ 1% of completions Share of reported completions in the bachelor’s programs included here.
