Updated September 30, 2026

How much do St. Joseph's University-New York graduates earn?

The reported median is $64,336 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is -$3,914 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $64,336. That figure is at the 64th percentile.

That is $3,914 below the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $1,868 less than expects for similar students.

That gap sits at the 48th percentile. Azimuth places the return in the 58th 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 $958. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $2,826. Within the measured factors, the STEM component subtracts $357.

The earnings scenarios show a wide spread: the downside scenario is $53,802, while the upside reaches $89,803. The scenarios span lower- and higher-earning program clusters.

At the top, Nursing graduates earn $104,818 four years after completion, from 84 degrees awarded. Accounting follows at $82,916, and Health and Medical Administrative Services at $76,238.

An estimated 28.0% 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.
