New York Institute of Technology Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do New York Institute of Technology graduates earn?

The reported median is $81,370 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is $13,120 per year.

New York Institute of Technology posts a high return reading among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth places the university’s return in the 90th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $81,370 four years after completion, placing their earnings in the 90th percentile nationally. Graduates earn about $18,878 more than expects for similar students.

This earnings-beyond-expectations result, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, sits in the 95th 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 $6,817.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $12,061. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250; the university’s median is $13,120 above it. Above-peer earnings and the model gap point the same way.

Nursing has median earnings of $117,461 four years after completion, showing how widely outcomes can differ by field. Electrical Engineering reaches $99,480, and Mechanical Engineering reaches $89,966 at the same point after completion.

Earnings scenarios based on the program mix range from $59,264 on the downside to $99,579 on the upside. They are scenarios rather than observed groups, and the program figures show the range behind them.

An estimated 31.8% 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 graduates continuing their education are outside that earnings 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 New York Institute of Technology 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.

New York Institute of Technology graduates’ reported earnings are $18,878 above that expectation, the 95th 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 New York Institute of Technology caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
