Olivet Nazarene University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Return is close to the peer midpoint, though the model splits its expectation gap between program mix and the institution. Azimuth places Olivet Nazarene University’s return pillar in the 49th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $825 less than the model expects for similar students, effectively at the expected level. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, sits in the 52nd percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $3,647. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $4,472.

Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn median earnings of $64,769 four years after completion, in the 65th percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions of the same type and size, is $68,250, with Olivet $3,481 below it.

The peer comparison and model result both describe earnings near their reference points.

Earnings differ widely across fields at Olivet Nazarene University, so the modeled range matters alongside the schoolwide figure. The downside earnings scenario is $44,370, and the upside scenario is $84,028; both are estimated from the program mix rather than observed groups.

Four years after completion, medians are $84,705 in Nursing, $82,632 in Engineering, and $77,132 in Accounting. Those field figures sit toward the upper end of the modeled range.

An estimated 27.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Four-year earnings include only completers who are working and not enrolled, so this estimate matters when reading the reported earnings measure.

Nursing has the highest median earnings among the listed fields, at $84,705 four years after completion, alongside 87 degrees awarded in one academic year. Engineering is also at the higher-earning end, with median earnings of $82,632 and 51 degrees awarded.

Azimuth’s figures place both fields well above the more moderate results elsewhere in the displayed programs. Accounting recorded median earnings of $77,132 four years after completion and 9 degrees awarded.

Psychology had median earnings of $49,427 with 36 degrees awarded. The contrast between these fields shows that program-level earnings vary considerably across the university’s larger and higher-earning offerings.

Program choice matters at Olivet Nazarene University: its largest degree fields show markedly different earnings four years after completion. During one academic year, Nursing awarded 87 degrees and had median earnings of $84,705 four years after completion; Business Administration and Management awarded 59 degrees and had median earnings of $57,973; Engineering awarded 51 degrees and had median earnings of $82,632; Psychology awarded 36 degrees and had median earnings of $49,427; and Teacher Education awarded 36 degrees and had median earnings of $45,455.

The listed large fields span a broad reported earnings range, so the overall earnings figure does not describe every field equally.
