The return picture places earnings below both the model expectation and the peer median. Azimuth puts Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University’s return pillar in the 15th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Graduates earn about $4,581 less than the model expects for similar students, placing earnings beyond expectations in the 38th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $1,440.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $6,021. Median earnings are $52,657 four years after completion, in the 26th percentile.
The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, with the university $4,644 below it. Both comparisons place earnings below their reference points.
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University posts median earnings of $52,657 four years after completion, based on an earnings cohort of 1,460 federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled. Azimuth places that figure in the 26th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Graduates earn about $4,581 less than the model expects for similar students. Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix show a typical figure of $52,657, with a downside scenario of $41,812 and an upside scenario of $67,547.
An estimated 29.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
Access is the strongest pillar at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, while return is measured separately. Median earnings four years after completion are $52,657, placing the university in Azimuth’s 26th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, and the university sits $4,644 below it. Graduates earn about $4,581 less than the model expects for similar students.
Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, sits in Azimuth’s 38th percentile. Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix run from $41,812 in the downside scenario to $67,547 in the upside scenario.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $1,440. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $6,021.
Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $628. Azimuth ranks the return pillar #1,242 among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The largest program, Health Sciences, awarded 281 degrees and has median earnings of $46,081 four years after completion. Azimuth ranks it #55 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions for its field.
Azimuth ranks it #160 nationally in its field among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks it #299 nationally in its field among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Program choice makes a wide difference in modeled earnings at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. The downside earnings scenario is $41,812, while the upside scenario is $67,547, both modeled from the program mix for four years after completion.
Graduates of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University earn about $4,581 less than the model expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations measure the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students.
That shortfall is the earnings side of the return picture. Borrowers who finish hold a median of $23,548 in federal student loans.
That is $2,319 above the peer median of $21,229 for comparable institutions (same type and size). If repaid over ten years, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $268 a month.
Those payments fall on debt that sits above the peer median while earnings land below what the model predicts. That tension is the core of the value question at the university.
