The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $13,738. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $1,656. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $11,000.

Earnings vary by field at Michigan Technological University, with earnings scenarios setting a broad range around the typical outcome. The downside earnings scenario is $66,808, and the upside scenario is $99,419; these are scenarios based on program mix, not observed groups.

Among large programs, Computer Science completers earn $105,428 four years after completion, Electrical Engineering completers earn $99,848, and Chemical Engineering completers earn $94,478. Those field figures help explain why the modeled range extends well beyond a single earnings result.

An estimated 23.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from program mix rather than observed enrollment. The four-year earnings measure covers graduates who are working and not enrolled, so it is a snapshot of those not continuing directly into graduate study.
