Updated

How much do East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania graduates earn?

The reported median is $56,971 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is -$330 per year.

Mobility is the clearer strength at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, while its return measures give a mixed reading. Azimuth rates the return in the 46th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $2,509 less than expects for similar students. That earnings-beyond-expectations measure, the gap between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students, falls in the 46th 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 $4,647. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $7,156.

Four years after completion, federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled have median earnings of $56,971, in the 39th percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions of the same type and size, is $57,301; the university’s earnings are $330 below it. Earnings edge past comparable peers but fall short of the model’s expectation.

The earnings scenarios at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania show a broad earnings spread across its program mix: $47,120 in the downside scenario and $77,127 in the upside scenario. They are scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates.

Several programs sit near the upper end four years after completion: Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at $104,383, Computer and Information Sciences at $104,026, and Nursing at $97,321. Those figures show how much the earnings picture can differ by field.

Four-year earnings exclude completers who are enrolled, so further study is part of the context. An estimated 29.1% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

That estimate helps frame the earnings figure as a snapshot of completers who are working and not enrolled.

Downside shows a lower-earning scenario based on the college’s mix of programs; upside shows a higher-earning scenario. Typical is the school’s reported median four years after completion. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast of your salary or percentiles of individual graduates.

Why the downside matters explores the risk hidden by medians, using older ten-year entrant data. Read about the move to four-year earnings.
