Salary and Debt by Major at Boise State University

We calculated a Salary Score for each of Boise State University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Boise State University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

Pursuing a degree in Health Sciences was the best thing I could've done. This program aligns you with a admin professional who direct you along the way to graduate on time.

I am a proud graduate with a bachelors degree as of May 2019 and am moving forward to obtain my masters. Go Broncos!
