Boise State University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Azimuth places the return pillar for Boise State University in the 71st percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Among federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, the median four years after completion is $64,791, in the 65th percentile.

Against the peer median of $65,610 for comparable institutions (same type and size), this figure is $819 below. Graduates earn about $4,697 more than the model expects for similar students.

That puts the gap at the 70th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $8,069.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $3,372. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $898.

Expected earnings differ markedly by program mix at Boise State University. Downside and upside earnings scenarios span $47,575 to $94,098 four years after completion; they are scenarios rather than observed graduate groups.

At the higher end, median earnings four years after completion are $112,120 in Computer Science, $100,680 in Electrical Engineering, and $95,250 in Construction Management. The scenario range and program results show that the schoolwide median does not describe every field.

Four-year earnings leave out completers who are still enrolled, so further study changes the scope of that figure. An estimated 29.4% of graduates continue to graduate study.

This is an estimate derived from program mix, not observed enrollment, so reported earnings describe working completers rather than every graduate.
