Graduates earn median 4-year earnings of $90,403, placing Florida Institute of Technology in the 88.1 percentile for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. That figure runs above the $67,139 median at comparable institutions, and graduates earn about $11,989 more than similar students at comparable institutions, placing Florida Institute of Technology in the 88.7 percentile for earnings beyond expectations among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Florida Institute of Technology #176 for return on investment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The earnings pattern reflects Florida Institute of Technology's concentration in Engineering and related technical fields. Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering anchors the return story, combining meaningful cohort scale with strong four-year earnings. The Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering program graduates 90 students with median earnings of $97,015 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #27 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions per the program-ranking methodology. Air Transportation follows with 89 graduates earning $83,243, and Azimuth ranks it #17 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science round out the upper tier, with graduates in each field posting median four-year earnings of $92,753 and $91,606 respectively — both above the benchmark for their fields among nonprofit four-year institutions. Program-mix concentration in Engineering (46% of graduates) and Business (8%) helps explain why institution-level earnings run consistently above the peer median.

Program mix and student pathways explain much of the earnings story.
Florida Institute of Technology's program mix is anchored in engineering and applied sciences — a signature consistent with its identity as a specialized STEM-focused private nonprofit university on Florida's Space Coast. The dominant program family is Engineering, which shapes both the institution's degree output and its labor-market positioning. Across 25 programs, 13 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold, collectively serving roughly 674 students annually. The strongest financial outcomes cluster in technical and applied fields. Computer Engineering leads on earnings, with graduates earning median earnings of $106,431 four years after enrollment — Azimuth ranks the program #60 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions per the program-ranking methodology. Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering follows closely, with graduates earning median earnings of $98,505 and Azimuth ranking it #138 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering and Mechanical Engineering round out the top-earning tier, with median earnings of $97,015 and $92,753 respectively — both high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the workforce directly and earnings reflect national labor-market outcomes. The most popular programs by graduate volume — Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering, Air Transportation, and Mechanical Engineering — combine meaningful cohort scale with strong direct-to-workforce outcomes. The Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering program graduates 90 students annually with median earnings of $97,015, and Azimuth ranks it #27 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The concentration of graduates in engineering and applied-science fields means the institution's program mix aligns closely with sectors showing sustained labor-market demand — particularly aerospace, defense, and technology industries prominent in the Melbourne, FL region. The provides broader context for how these program families track national hiring trends.
