Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $55,876. That figure is at the 36th percentile.

That is $39 below the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $13,883 more than expects for similar students.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $13,354. Azimuth places the return in the 56th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

At the higher end, Kinesiology and Physical Education graduates earn a median of $53,882 four years after completion, from 22 degrees awarded. Criminal Justice follows at $53,505, with 23 degrees awarded and an Azimuth national rank of #147 within its field.

An estimated 32.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot.
