Earnings sources and definitions

The lower estimate lets you examine a plan with less income than the school-wide median. Compare it with costs and with the fields you are considering, while keeping the modeled estimates separate from reported earnings.

Azimuth places the return for Arizona State University Campus Immersion in the 78th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Four years after completion, completers earn a median of $66,968, in the 70th percentile nationally.

That is above the peer median of $65,610 among comparable institutions (same type and size), a gap of $1,358. Graduates earn about $11,110 more than expects for similar students, a result in the 86th percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $11,839. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $729. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $3,196.

The earnings scenarios at Arizona State University Campus Immersion span from a downside of $52,272 to an upside of $96,480, with the typical scenario at $66,968. That range reflects the variation across the university's 90 programs with earnings data four years after completion.

The highest-earning fields show the upper end of the spread. Construction Engineering completers earn a median of $116,219, Computer Science graduates reach $114,868, and Computer Engineering completers earn $112,543.

Construction Engineering Technology/Technician, ranked #2 nationally in its field, posts a median of $107,880. The largest program family, Business, accounts for 22.3% of degrees awarded, while Engineering, at 9.4% of degrees, includes several of the highest-earning fields.

An estimated 29.8% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, this estimate indicates that a sizable portion of completers may be building additional human capital outside the earnings snapshot.

Earnings by field

Among Arizona State University Campus Immersion programs with a reported four-year earnings value, the highest medians are: Construction Engineering ($116,219); Computer Science ($114,868); Computer Engineering ($112,543); Construction Engineering Technology/Technician ($107,880); Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering ($104,757). These are earnings after completion for the covered cohort.

A program median describes the middle reported outcome in that group. It is not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every graduate, and an earnings comparison does not by itself explain why fields differ.

Do ASU graduates earn more than expected?

Arizona State University Campus Immersion reports median earnings of $66,968 four years after completion. The reported value is $11,110 above Azimuth’s statistical expectation for the institution.

The difference compares the reported outcome with a model estimate. It does not compare matched students who attended different colleges, and it does not establish how much the institution caused earnings to change.

Read this measure alongside completion and individual program outcomes. It describes an institution-level result; it does not predict what a particular student will earn.

Figure notes link to sources and limitations. About College Azimuth.

Four-year earnings are measured after completion for the covered federally aided cohort of people working and not enrolled. Measures taken six, eight or ten years after entry use a different starting point and should not be treated as one graduating class followed over time.

Program award counts describe credentials awarded, not current enrollment, unique graduates or earnings-sample size. Reporting periods differ across measures; the shared field definitions do not establish the exact vintage of every school-level value.
