Saint Edward's University Outcomes: $60K Earnings (2026)

How much do Saint Edward's University graduates earn?

The reported median is $59,999 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is -$8,251 per year.

The return picture combines higher-than-expected earnings with a median that trails comparable institutions. At Saint Edward's University, graduates earn about $3,890 more than expects for similar students.

That result sits in the 68th percentile, while Azimuth places the return in the 62nd 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 $1,984.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $1,906. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled have median earnings of $59,999 four years after completion, in the 51st percentile.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250, placing the university $8,251 below it. The model result and peer comparison point in different directions.

The possible earnings picture differs sharply by field at Saint Edward's University. The downside and upside earnings scenarios run from $50,296 to $81,069; they are scenarios built from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.

At the higher end, Finance has median earnings of $90,286 four years after completion. Computer Science is at $87,890, and Accounting is at $83,957.

These field medians show a wide spread within the university's published program results.

Four-year earnings are best read as a snapshot of completers already in the workforce. An estimated 29.8% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Those continuing their education are outside the earnings measure, which covers working completers who are not enrolled.

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 Saint Edward's 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.

Saint Edward's University graduates’ reported earnings are $3,890 above that expectation, the 68th 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 Saint Edward's University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Saint Edward's University report the highest earnings?

Earnings differ sharply among the larger and higher-earning fields at Saint Edward's University, four years after completion. Finance sits at the high end, with median earnings of $90,286 and 31 degrees awarded.

The contrast shows that the school-level earnings picture can look quite different depending on the field chosen.

Published earnings cover 23 bachelor’s fields, and the highest figures are concentrated in business-related options. Finance awarded 31 degrees and had median earnings of $90,286 four years after completion.

Computer Science awarded 21 degrees, with median earnings of $87,890 at the same point. Accounting awarded 30 degrees and posted $83,957 in median earnings four years after completion.
