Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $93,514. That is at the 95th percentile nationally, and $36,213 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Azimuth places the university at the 97th percentile for return among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $25,797 more than the model expects for similar students.
That puts the gap at the 98th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures adds $18,258.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $7,539. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $13,169.
Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates of Missouri University of Science and Technology who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $93,514. The measure draws on an earnings cohort of 1,722 federally aided completers.
That median sits in the 95th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $25,797 more than the model expects for similar students.
Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix span from $67,080 on the downside to $101,881 on the upside, with typical earnings at $93,514. These scenarios are estimates from the program mix, not observed outcomes for any single cohort.
An estimated 26.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
Missouri University of Science and Technology shows a high four-year earnings figure for federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled: median earnings are $93,514. That figure sits in the 95th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301; the university’s figure is $36,213 above it. Graduates earn about $25,797 more than the model expects for similar students.
That earnings beyond expectations measure, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, is in the 98th 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 $18,258.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $7,539. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $13,169.
Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix run from $67,080 in the downside scenario to $101,881 in the upside scenario. Azimuth ranks the university #49 for return among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Computer and Information Sciences leads the listed programs, with 120 degrees awarded and median earnings of $107,195 four years after completion. Azimuth ranks it #42 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions, and its median is 1.16x the national median for its field.
Azimuth ranks those fields #77, #70, and #76 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Earnings vary across fields, so the institution-wide median does not stand in for every program outcome. Earnings scenarios place the downside at $67,080, the typical scenario at $93,514, and the upside at $101,881 four years after completion.
The financial picture at Missouri University of Science and Technology pairs higher-than-expected earnings with borrowing above the peer median. Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $23,250, compared with $21,229 at comparable institutions (same type and size).
That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $264 a month if repaid over ten years. Parent PLUS borrowers, a separate parent-borrower group, have median borrowing of $30,462.
Graduates earn about $25,797 more than the model expects for similar students. Modeled earnings point favorably, though the median debt figure sits above that of comparable institutions.
