Degree Market Intelligence

What the Data Reveals About Degree Outcomes

1. 01

   The degree market rewards specialization: 47 of 152 programs pay six figures, led by Medicine (MD) ($229,300). Technical and healthcare degrees dominate the top of the earnings distribution.

2. 02

   Growth is concentrated in technology and healthcare: 26 programs project 20%+ expansion, led by Women's Health NP (WHNP) at 40%. Traditional humanities and some social science fields face flat or declining enrollment-adjusted demand.

3. 03

   AI is reshaping the middle: the average degree scores 67/100 on our AI resilience scale. Nurse Anesthesia (CRNA) ranks highest at 94, while degrees feeding routine cognitive or administrative roles face the strongest compression pressure.

4. 04

   Low-barrier, high-return paths exist: 2 programs requiring less educational investment still pay above $80K — concentrated in healthcare support, technology-adjacent fields, and select trades.

5. 05

   6 degree programs on our map show 2% or lower projected growth. The largest contraction cluster is in fields facing structural rather than cyclical decline — traditional media, some humanities, and oversaturated professional tracks.

6. 06

   Technology dominates the top of our scorecard: Nurse Anesthesia (CRNA) earns the highest overall grade (B+, 77/100), reflecting a rare combination of strong salary, growth trajectory, and AI resilience.

7. 07

   The largest degree category by program count is Technology with 13 programs — but program diversity is expanding at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and data science.
