Carroll University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Four years after completion, federally aided completers working and not enrolled have median earnings of $66,639, in the 69th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250.

Carroll University is $1,611 below that peer median. Azimuth assigns its return pillar to the 70th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $2,553 less than the model expects for similar students. Azimuth puts earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, in the 45th percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $6,217. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $8,770.

Earnings sit above comparable peers, though they fall short of the model’s expectation.

Earnings vary across Carroll University’s modeled program-mix scenarios, from $48,811 on the downside to $78,931 on the upside four years after completion. These are scenarios, not observed groups of graduates.

Program medians also span a wide range four years after completion: Accounting reports $87,085, Finance reports $79,884, and Computer Science reports $79,438. Those program results give the modeled range practical context.

Further study is relevant when interpreting the reported earnings. An estimated 29.2% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so people continuing study fall outside that snapshot.

At Carroll University, the higher-earning fields in this set sit noticeably above the more moderate-earning options four years after completion. Accounting records median earnings of $87,085 across 6 degrees awarded, and Finance records $79,884 across 8 degrees awarded.

Nursing combines $78,698 in median earnings with 100 degrees awarded, placing it nearer the higher-earning end of these programs. By contrast, Psychology reports $55,446 and 44 degrees awarded.
