Azimuth places the return pillar at the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The median earnings for federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled is $111,883 four years after completion.
That figure is $43,633 above the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $7,690 more than the model expects for similar students.
That gap is at the 78th 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 $12,379.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $4,689. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $5,586.
Four years after completing a degree, Dartmouth College graduates earn a median of $111,883. That figure is $43,633 above the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size), and Azimuth places it in the 98th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The earnings cohort is 797 completers. Earnings scenarios, estimated from the program mix, range from a downside of $62,609 to an upside of $177,947, with a typical scenario of $111,883.
These are scenarios, not observed groups of graduates. An estimated 38.2% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
