Salary and Debt by Major at Northern State University

We calculated a Salary Score for each of Northern 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 Northern 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.

NSU was a great school for music, and the community was very supportive of the fine arts department. The fairly rural location is great for practicing!
