Bridgewater State University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Graduates earn about $1,898 less than the model expects for similar students, though the median four years after completion is $59,669. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, putting Bridgewater State University $2,368 above that mark.

Azimuth places its return pillar in the 42nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between graduate earnings and the model's expectation for similar students, is in the 48th 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 $2,809. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $4,707.

The median earnings figure is in the 50th percentile. Above-peer earnings sit alongside below-expected earnings.

Observed program earnings differ enough that earnings scenarios offer only a view of potential outcomes at Bridgewater State University. The downside and upside earnings scenarios, modeled from the program mix rather than observed groups, run from $50,472 to $71,286.

Among published program medians four years after completion, Computer Science reaches $87,099, Chemistry is $80,287, and Accounting is $79,315. Those observed program figures extend above the upside, so field choice and the scenario range describe different parts of the earnings picture.

Further study is a consideration when reading the university's earnings. An estimated 32.2% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Four-year earnings include completers who are working and not enrolled, so those pursuing further study are outside that snapshot.
