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 Towson University.

From 2016 to 2025, 345 Towson University graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in biological and biomedical sciences, education, and psychology.
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 Towson University awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.

The rows above use a synthetic profile (median household income, in-state residency). The life-path tool runs the same model on your actual income, family size, residency, and intended major.

Median earnings: federally-aided graduates, ~4 years out (College Scorecard). Trajectory: 10-year projection from the life-path model with a synthetic profile — methodology.
Work in Maryland: of graduates working and not in school a year after graduating, the share whose job is in Maryland. Graduate degree or certificate: of graduates working and not in school five years after graduating, the share who had earned one. Anyone still in school isn't counted, so majors that lead to long graduate programs read low. A dash means the College Scorecard doesn't report the figure for that major, or counted fewer than 30 graduates.
