Florida Institute of Technology Earnings: $90K (2026)

How much do Florida Institute of Technology graduates earn?

The reported median is $90,403 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is $22,153 per year.

For federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, Florida Institute of Technology posts median earnings of $90,403 four years after completion, in the 94th percentile. Graduates earn about $27,474 more than expects for similar students.

That earnings-beyond-expectations measure—the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students—sits in the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth places the return in the 94th 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 $8,536. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $18,938.

Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $7,397. The median is $22,153 above the peer median of $68,250 at comparable institutions (same type and size), the middle value for that group. The model result and peer comparison point in the same direction.

Field choice leaves a wide modeled earnings range at Florida Institute of Technology. The downside earnings scenario is $59,365, and the upside scenario is $99,044; both are scenarios derived from the program mix rather than observed groups of graduates.

At the upper end, program median earnings four years after completion are $106,431 for Computer Engineering, $99,312 for Chemical Engineering, and $98,505 for Electrical Engineering. Those program results illustrate the higher-earning side of the modeled range.

Further study shapes how to read the earnings figure. An estimated 26.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so those continuing their education sit outside that earnings snapshot.

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.

Do Florida Institute of Technology graduates earn more than expected?

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls value added.

Florida Institute of Technology graduates’ reported earnings are $27,474 above that expectation, the 99th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls.

The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending Florida Institute of Technology caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Florida Institute of Technology report the highest earnings?

Program earnings at Florida Institute of Technology vary by field four years after completion, with engineering at the higher end and air transportation at a more moderate level. Computer Engineering recorded median earnings of $106,431 four years after completion and 41 degrees awarded.

Chemical Engineering posted $99,312 with 19 degrees awarded, while Electrical Engineering reached $98,505 across 23 degrees awarded. At the more moderate end, Air Transportation had median earnings of $83,243 and 89 degrees awarded.

The award counts describe degrees awarded in one academic year, separate from the earnings cohorts, and the figures show that the return picture differs across these fields.

At Florida Institute of Technology, Engineering accounts for 49.1% of bachelor's degrees awarded, making it the dominant program family. Published four-year earnings cover 14 bachelor's programs.

Among the largest fields, Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering had 90 degrees awarded and median earnings of $97,015 four years after completion; Air Transportation had 89 degrees awarded and $83,243 in median earnings; Mechanical Engineering had 80 degrees awarded and $92,753; and Computer Engineering had 41 degrees awarded and $106,431. The largest programs cluster around engineering and aviation-related fields with high reported earnings.

Further analysis

The program mix yields downside, typical, and upside earnings scenarios of $59,365, $90,403, and $99,044 four years after completion. Computer Engineering anchors the high end at $106,431, while Air Transportation, the lowest-earning among the largest programs, is at $83,243. The spread shows why field choice changes the earnings picture.

Graduates from Florida Institute of Technology post a high reported earnings level four years after completion. Among federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, median earnings are $90,403 four years after completion.

Azimuth places that measure in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, based on an earnings cohort of 1,477 completers. Graduates earn about $27,474 more than the model expects for similar students.

The typical scenario, modeled from the program mix, matches the reported median; the downside and upside cases are scenarios, not observed groups. An estimated 26.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

High reported earnings and higher-than-expected earnings point in the same direction.
