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.
Median earnings of federally-aided graduates 10 years after first enrollment, across all majors at Southern Arkansas University Main Campus.

From 2016 to 2025, 55 Southern Arkansas University Main Campus graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in education, biological and biomedical sciences, and business.
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 Southern Arkansas University Main Campus awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.
