Baptist Health Sciences University Earnings: $73K (2026)

How much do Baptist Health Sciences University graduates earn?

The reported median is $73,191 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $55,915 as its benchmark; the difference is $17,276 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $73,191, in the 81st percentile nationally. That is $17,276 above the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Azimuth places the return in the 85th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $18,620 more than expects for similar students.

That gap is in the 94th percentile nationally. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $7,333.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $11,287. Within the measured factors, the STEM component subtracts $1,302.

Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix range from $57,388 on the downside to $82,135 on the upside, with $73,191 as the typical scenario. These are scenarios, not observed groups of graduates.

The largest program, Nursing, reports median earnings at the upside scenario level four years after completion. Allied Health Professions graduates earn $61,506, and Health and Medical Administrative Services graduates earn $51,673.

An estimated 25.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing their education are outside that 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 Baptist Health Sciences 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.

Baptist Health Sciences University graduates’ reported earnings are $18,620 above that expectation, the 94th 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 Baptist Health Sciences University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
