Lawrence Technological University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated

How much do Lawrence Technological University graduates earn?

The reported median is $90,760 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $55,915 as its benchmark; the difference is $34,845 per year.

Lawrence Technological University posts $90,760 in median earnings four years after completion, placing its earnings measure in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth puts the university’s return in the 95th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $17,756 more than expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, falls 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 $5,176. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $12,580.

Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $7,127. For comparable institutions (same type and size), the peer median, the middle value, is $55,915; the university is $34,845 above it.

Higher-than-expected earnings and its position above the peer median point the same way.

Graduate earnings vary across Lawrence Technological University’s modeled outcomes and published program medians. The downside earnings scenario is $63,201 and the upside scenario is $99,640, both modeled from the program mix rather than observed groups.

Four years after completion, median earnings are $100,145 in Mechanical Engineering, $99,444 in Design and Applied Arts, and $97,532 in Electrical Engineering. The modeled span and program medians show that earnings differ by field.

The reported earnings exclude completers who remain enrolled. An estimated 24.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

That estimate means four-year earnings describe completers working rather than continuing their education.

School and program earnings use pooled 2017–18 and 2018–19 completion cohorts, measured in 2022 and 2023 and expressed in 2024 dollars. How the model works.

How could earnings differ from the median?

The planning scenarios range from $63,201 to $99,640, around the reported median of $90,760. Compare the lower scenario with Lawrence Technological University borrowing and monthly payments to see how a smaller income could change your plan.

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 Lawrence Technological University 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.

Lawrence Technological University graduates’ reported earnings are $17,756 above that expectation, the 94th 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 Lawrence Technological University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Lawrence Technological University report the highest earnings?

Program-level earnings place Design and Applied Arts alongside engineering at the higher-earning end, rather than separating technical fields from every other large program. Four years after completion, Mechanical Engineering shows median earnings of $100,145 and 60 degrees awarded.

Design and Applied Arts follows at $99,444, with 20 degrees awarded. The more moderate-earning fields remain well represented in the program mix.

Civil Engineering records median earnings of $83,291 four years after completion and 21 degrees awarded, while Computer Science records $82,464 and 31 degrees awarded. The spread shows that earnings vary across fields, including among the university's larger programs.

Engineering accounts for 47.0% of bachelor’s degrees awarded, giving Lawrence Technological University a program mix centered on technical fields. The largest programs with published earnings are Mechanical Engineering, with 60 degrees awarded; Electrical Engineering, with 45; and Computer Science, with 31.

Median earnings four years after completion were $100,145 for Mechanical Engineering, $97,532 for Electrical Engineering, $82,464 for Computer Science, $80,937 for Biomedical Engineering, and $83,291 for Civil Engineering. The results vary across these sizable fields, but the engineering-heavy degree mix aligns with the university’s return strength.

Further analysis

The program mix yields earnings scenarios of $63,201 on the downside, $90,760 in the typical case, and $99,640 on the upside. Mechanical Engineering reaches $100,145 four years after completion, while Biomedical Engineering, the lowest-earning among the largest programs with published earnings, is at $80,937. These scenarios are not observed groups and show how earnings differ by field.

Lawrence Technological University graduates who received federal aid and are working and not enrolled earn a median of $90,760 four years after completing a degree. That median lands in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The median is based on a cohort of 368 completers. Graduates earn about $17,756 more than the model expects for similar students.

That outcome sits at the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The figure is the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students.

Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix range from $63,201 on the downside to $99,640 on the upside, with typical earnings at $90,760. An estimated 24.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
