Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $62,546, a figure at the 59th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. That is $5,245 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Graduates earn about $3,938 more than the model expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 68th percentile.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $8,004. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $4,066. Azimuth places the university at the 52nd percentile for return.

An estimated 27.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
The earnings scenarios point to a wide spread: from $41,768 on the downside to $79,931 on the upside. These are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.
At the higher end, Computer and Information Sciences graduates earn $83,000 four years after completion, from 57 degrees awarded a year. Nursing, the largest program, reports $78,004 on 193 degrees.
The range between the largest program and the highest-earning one is modest, but the gap to the downside scenario is substantial.
