## Which majors earn the most at Western New England University?

The five largest programs at Western New England University show a clear earnings divide between engineering and the rest. Mechanical Engineering graduates earn a median of $93,541 four years after completion, from 42 degrees awarded.

The three largest programs—Kinesiology and Physical Education, Psychology, and Criminal Justice—all earn at or below $60,486. The highest-earning program is a smaller one.

Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration reports $129,138 from 22 degrees awarded. Computer Science and Electrical Engineering follow, at $100,055 and $96,841.

A student's field matters more than the institution-wide median here. The spread between Kinesiology and Physical Education and Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration is wide, and the largest programs are not the best-paid ones.
