[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Earnings after a degree from University of Wisconsin-Stout depend heavily on the field a student chooses, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s are built to surface that variation. They evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 32 programs with published earnings data. The degree mix is anchored by Business, which accounts for 24.1% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Visual & Performing Arts at 14.6% and Computer & Information Sciences at 12.2%. The largest single program is Business Administration and Management, at 196 degrees a year, with graduates earning a median of $68,697 four years after completion. The highest-earning program is a smaller one: Construction Management graduates earn $101,758, from 40 degrees a year. Mechanical Engineering, the third-largest program, reports a median of $87,645. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
