## Which majors earn the most at Xavier University of Louisiana?

The four programs with published earnings data show a clear split: one field earns above the national median for its graduates, while the other three sit below it. Public Health leads at $63,204 four years after completion, or 1.07x the national median for the field, with 59 degrees awarded.

The largest program, Biology, awards 122 degrees a year and reports median earnings of $42,938, which is 0.75x the national field median. Chemistry and Business Administration and Management are smaller and post similar earnings, at $48,508 and $41,198 respectively.

A student's field of study matters a great deal here. The spread between the highest- and lowest-earning program among these four is wide, and the largest program is not the best-paid one.
