Benedictine University graduates earn about $18,650 more than the model expects for similar students, a result in the 95th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The median four years after completion is $72,460, in the 79th percentile.
The peer median for comparable institutions (same type and size) is $55,915, and the university sits $16,545 above that mark. Azimuth places the return pillar in the 86th percentile nationally.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) subtracts $1,943. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $20,593. Pay sits above the peer median and the model gap is positive.
