Norwich University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do Norwich University graduates earn?

The reported median is $75,909 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is $7,659 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $75,909. That places the university at the 84th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The median is $7,659 above the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $2,652 more than expects for similar students.

That puts the gap at the 65th percentile. Azimuth places the university at the 83rd percentile for return 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 $4,212. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $1,560.

The range of modeled earnings at Norwich University leaves room for materially different outcomes by program mix. The downside earnings scenario is $61,514, the typical scenario is $75,909, and the upside scenario is $88,071.

These are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates. Among named programs, median earnings four years after completion are $90,628 in Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management, $86,054 in Nursing, and $85,184 in Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations. Those program results help show the variation behind the scenarios.

Graduate study matters when reading the earnings figure. An estimated 21.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Four-year earnings cover federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, leaving those continuing their education outside that 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 Norwich University 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.

Norwich University graduates’ reported earnings are $2,652 above that expectation, the 65th 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 Norwich University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Norwich University report the highest earnings?

At Norwich University, program-level earnings range from higher-paying technical and health fields to more moderate outcomes in larger offerings. Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management recorded median earnings of $90,628 four years after completion, with 49 degrees awarded.

Nursing posted $86,054 with 67 degrees awarded, placing both fields toward the higher end of the school’s reported program results. Among the larger programs, Criminal Justice had median earnings of $70,075 four years after completion and 112 degrees awarded.

Business Administration and Management recorded $73,203 across 44 degrees awarded. The contrast shows that the earnings picture depends materially on field, including within programs that award substantial numbers of degrees.

At Norwich University, the largest bachelor's fields show distinctly different earnings four years after completion. Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations awarded 134 degrees, with median earnings of $85,184 four years after completion.

Criminal Justice awarded 112 degrees and had median earnings of $70,075. Nursing awarded 67 degrees, with median earnings of $86,054.

Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management awarded 49 degrees and had median earnings of $90,628. Business Administration and Management awarded 44 degrees, with median earnings of $73,203.

The figures make field choice material because the largest fields do not share one earnings level.

Further analysis

Field choice shapes the modeled earnings range grounded in the program mix: the downside scenario is $61,514, the typical scenario is $75,909, and the upside scenario is $88,071. Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management is at the high end, with $90,628 four years after completion; among the largest programs, Criminal Justice is lower at $70,075. The spread shows variation by field.

Norwich University has an earnings picture that sits well above the middle of the national nonprofit four-year college set. The median earnings four years after completion is $75,909 for federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled.

Azimuth puts its four-year earnings measure in the 84th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, drawing on an earnings cohort of 1,023 completers. Graduates earn about $2,652 more than the model expects for similar students.

The program-mix model sets a typical earnings scenario at $75,909, alongside a downside scenario of $61,514 and an upside scenario of $88,071. An estimated 21.9% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. The earnings standing and the model comparison point in the same direction.
