Marywood University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do Marywood University graduates earn?

The reported median is $60,125 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $55,915 as its benchmark; the difference is $4,210 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $60,125, at the 52nd percentile nationally. That is $4,210 above the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Graduates earn about $11,805 less than expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 15th percentile.

Azimuth places the university at the 43rd percentile for return among nonprofit four-year institutions. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures subtracts $3,647.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $8,158. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $6.

Earnings at Marywood University vary widely across earnings scenarios and fields. The downside earnings scenario is $47,260 and the upside scenario is $100,294; both are estimated from the program mix, not observed graduate groups.

Among published field results, Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences has median earnings of $130,682 four years after completion, Nursing has $92,915, and Business Administration and Management has $70,456. These field figures show why the modeled range is broad.

Graduate study is relevant when reading the four-year earnings figure. An estimated 32.5% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

Since the earnings measure covers completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing study are outside that 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 Marywood 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.

Marywood University graduates’ reported earnings are $11,805 below that expectation, the 15th 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 Marywood University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Marywood University report the highest earnings?

Reported earnings at Marywood University vary widely across the fields shown four years after completion. Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences records median earnings of $130,682 and 23 degrees awarded.

Nursing has median earnings of $92,915 with 39 degrees awarded. Business Administration and Management records $70,456 in median earnings across 16 degrees awarded.

Communication Disorders Sciences and Services has median earnings of $69,872 and 22 degrees awarded. The higher-earning health and nursing fields contrast with the more moderate figures in business and communication fields.

The largest fields show a wide range of earnings four years after completion, from health-focused programs to rehabilitation. Nursing awarded 39 degrees, and its completers had median earnings of $92,915 four years after completion.

Architecture awarded 34 degrees and had median earnings of $67,178. Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences awarded 23 degrees, with median earnings of $130,682 four years after completion.

Communication Disorders Sciences and Services awarded 22 degrees and had median earnings of $69,872. Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions awarded 21 degrees, with median earnings of $49,106. The program-level figures make field choice especially consequential here.

Further analysis

Field choice shapes the modeled earnings range at Marywood University: scenarios grounded in its program mix run from a downside of $47,260 through a typical outcome of $60,125 to an upside of $100,294. Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences records $130,682 four years after completion; among the largest programs, Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Professions is at $49,106. The spread shows variation by field rather than observed groups.

Marywood University presents a mixed earnings picture, with a middle-range observed median but earnings below the model’s expectation. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled have median earnings of $60,125 four years after completion.

Azimuth places this earnings measure in the 52nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, using an earnings cohort of 597 completers. The typical scenario matches that observed median.

Program-mix scenarios range from a downside of $47,260 to an upside of $100,294, showing that earnings can differ substantially across the fields represented here. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, offers a separate comparison.

Graduates earn about $11,805 less than the model expects for similar students. An estimated 32.5% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

The broad scenario range sits alongside below-expected earnings, so the school-level median does not tell the whole return story.
