Norfolk State University Rankings by Salary Score™
Salary and Debt by Major at Norfolk State University
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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.

Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.
