St. Francis College Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do St. Francis College graduates earn?

The reported median is $58,523 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $55,915 as its benchmark; the difference is $2,608 per year.

St. Francis College presents a return picture where graduates earn about $9,372 more than expects for similar students. That earnings-beyond-expectations measure—the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students—stands in the 82nd 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 $673. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $8,699.

Graduates earn a median of $58,523 four years after completion, in the 45th percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $55,915; St. Francis College is $2,608 above it.

Azimuth places its return in the 57th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The peer comparison and higher-than-expected earnings point the same way.

Program choice corresponds with a wide modeled earnings range at St. Francis College. The downside earnings scenario is $47,964 and the upside scenario is $105,472, neither representing an observed group of graduates.

At the program level, median earnings four years after completion are $112,171 in Nursing, $82,993 in Accounting, and $64,725 in Liberal Arts and General Studies. The modeled range and program medians show why the schoolwide figure does not describe every field.

Graduate study is relevant when reading the earnings figure. An estimated 28.8% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Since earnings four years after completion cover people who are working and not enrolled, graduates continuing study are 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 St. Francis College 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.

St. Francis College graduates’ reported earnings are $9,372 above that expectation, the 82nd 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 St. Francis College caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
