Further analysis
Outcomes at Illinois Institute of Technology vary sharply by field, and Azimuth's program rankings evaluate what a student earns rather than a department's reputation. They rank programs by the four-year earnings of federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size.
Of the 11 programs with published earnings data, 9 carry an Azimuth national rank. The degree mix is overwhelmingly technical.
Engineering accounts for 41.9% of bachelor's degrees awarded, followed by Computer & Information Sciences at 28.1% and Architecture at 12.6%. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers four years after completion.
Computer Science is the largest single program, with 107 degrees awarded and median earnings of $120,953. Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering holds the strongest national rank at #9 within its field, from 28 degrees awarded.
Computer Science is ranked #57 nationally and #5 in Illinois within its field, with 107 degrees awarded. Its completers earn a median of $120,953 four years after completion.
