Angelo State University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do Angelo State University graduates earn?

The reported median is $54,923 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is -$2,378 per year.

For federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, median earnings are $54,923 four years after completion, in the 32nd percentile. This is $2,378 below the peer median of $57,301, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Graduates earn about $642 more than expects for similar students, effectively at the expected level. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, falls in the 57th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Azimuth puts Angelo State University in the 35th percentile for return among nonprofit four-year institutions. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) subtracts $578.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $1,220. Earnings are below the peer median even as they sit effectively at the model's expected level.

At Angelo State University, field choice leaves a wide range in modeled earnings. The downside earnings scenario is $43,565, the typical scenario is $54,923, and the upside scenario is $79,744 four years after completion; these are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups.

Four years after completion, median earnings are $87,991 in International Relations and National Security Studies, $81,432 in Nursing, and $68,230 in Accounting. Those field-level figures help explain the breadth of the earnings scenarios.

Graduate study affects how the four-year earnings figure should be read. An estimated 29.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so those continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot.

Downside shows a lower-earning scenario based on the college’s mix of programs; upside shows a higher-earning scenario. Typical is the school’s reported median four years after completion. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast of your salary or percentiles of individual graduates.

Why the downside matters explores the risk hidden by medians, using older ten-year entrant data. Read about the move to four-year earnings.

Do Angelo State University graduates earn more than expected?

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls value added.

Angelo State University graduates’ reported earnings are $642 above that expectation, the 57th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls.

The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending Angelo State University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
