Ramapo College of New Jersey Career Outcomes & Earnings

Mobility is the stronger pillar at Ramapo College of New Jersey, but its return evidence points in different directions. Azimuth places the university's return pillar in the 52nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $6,527 less than the model expects for similar students. That earnings-beyond-expectations measure sits in the 30th 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 $4,670. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $11,197.

Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $67,266 four years after completion, in the 71st percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301; the university stands $9,965 above it. The model result and observed earnings point in different directions.

The modeled range suggests that earnings can differ widely across Ramapo College of New Jersey’s program mix. The downside scenario is $49,646, and the upside scenario is $92,932; these are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates.

Published program medians four years after completion reach $115,174 in Computer and Information Sciences, $103,534 in Nursing, and $83,004 in Accounting. Those program figures span much of the wider modeled range.

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 those continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot.
