Return is the weakest of the four for SUNY Brockport, at the 25th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The median earnings for federally aided graduates four years after completion are $57,799, in the 43rd percentile nationally.

That figure is $498 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $8,553 less than expects for similar students.

That places the gap in the 23rd percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $3,748.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $12,301. Within the measured factors, the STEM component subtracts $415.

At SUNY Brockport, earnings scenarios indicate substantial earnings variation across program mixes. The downside scenario is $45,792, compared with an upside scenario of $85,083; these are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups.

Among fields with published earnings, Nursing completers have median earnings of $88,583 four years after completion. Finance is at $70,248, and Accounting is at $68,712 on the same timeline. These are among the higher-earning fields in the published data.

Graduate study is part of how to read the four-year earnings snapshot. An estimated 28.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

The earnings figure covers people who are working and not enrolled, so it does not describe those continuing their education.

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 SUNY Brockport 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.

SUNY Brockport graduates’ reported earnings are $8,553 below that expectation, the 23rd 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 SUNY Brockport caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
