Miami University-Oxford Outcomes: $71K Earnings (2026)

How much do Miami University-Oxford graduates earn?

The reported median is $70,785 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $65,610 as its benchmark; the difference is $5,175 per year.

Azimuth places Miami University-Oxford in the 82nd percentile for return among nonprofit four-year institutions. At the four-year mark, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $70,785, in the 77th percentile.

That sits $5,175 above the $65,610 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Completers earn about $1,570 less than expects for similar students.

That places the gap at the 49th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $10,523.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $12,093. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $2,131.

The earnings scenarios at Miami University-Oxford span from a downside of $52,543 to an upside of $101,025, with the typical scenario at $70,785. That range shows the variation in earnings across the university's 50 programs with published data four years after completion.

The highest-earning programs illustrate the upper end of the spread. Management Information Systems and Services completers earn a median of $111,158, while Finance graduates reach $110,406 and Management Science completers earn $102,249.

An estimated 30.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, the median earnings understate the eventual earnings of the sizable share of completers who pursue advanced degrees.

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 Miami University-Oxford 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.

Miami University-Oxford graduates’ reported earnings are $1,570 below that expectation, the 49th 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 Miami University-Oxford caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Miami University-Oxford report the highest earnings?

The spread between the highest- and lowest-earning programs among Miami University-Oxford's largest fields is wide. Finance, the largest program with 348 degrees awarded, shows a median of $110,406 four years after completion.

Psychology—the second-largest at 273 degrees—reports $58,255. The highest-earning program overall is Management Information Systems and Services, where completers earn a median of $111,158 on 83 degrees awarded.
