Milwaukee School of Engineering Career Outcomes & Earnings

Milwaukee School of Engineering has a strong return picture, with graduates earn about $18,526 more than the model expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students, sit in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Azimuth places its return pillar in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Of that gap, the model attributes $11,656 to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market), a share that adds to expected earnings.

It attributes $6,870 to a remainder it does not explain, which adds. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $11,360.

Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn median earnings of $90,607 four years after completion, in the 94th percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250.

The school stands $22,357 above that figure, so the above-peer median and higher-than-expected earnings point in the same direction.

The program mix at Milwaukee School of Engineering leaves a clear range in earnings scenarios: $80,397 on the downside and $102,107 on the upside. These are earnings scenarios, not observed groups of graduates.

Among individual programs, median earnings four years after completion are $103,360 in Computer Engineering, $95,147 in Construction Management, and $93,229 in Biomedical Engineering. Those program results help explain the range between the earnings scenarios.

An estimated 24.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so those continuing their education sit outside that earnings snapshot.

At Milwaukee School of Engineering, program earnings place Computer Engineering at the higher-earning end, with $103,360 in median earnings four years after completion and 73 degrees awarded. Azimuth ranks the field #69 nationally among nonprofit four year institutions.

Biomedical Engineering recorded $93,229 and 29 degrees awarded; Azimuth ranks that field #60 nationally among nonprofit four year institutions. Computer Engineering had median earnings of $103,360 four years after completion across 73 degrees awarded.
