Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $81,180. That is in the 90th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
That is $25,265 above the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $17,466 more than the model expects for similar students.
That places the gap 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 $8,336.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $9,130. Azimuth places the return pillar in the 92nd percentile.
