Per-major median earnings and 10-year projection bands. Numbers come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (most recent release); trajectory bands come from the life-path model run server-side with a synthetic profile.

From 2016 to 2025, 117 Belmont University graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in humanities and arts, biological and biomedical sciences, and education.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees Belmont University awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.

Work in Tennessee: of graduates working and not in school a year after graduating, the share whose job is in Tennessee. A dash means the College Scorecard doesn't report the figure for that major, or counted fewer than 30 graduates.
