Texas A & M International University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated

How much do Texas A & M International University graduates earn?

The reported median is $50,288 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is -$7,013 per year.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $50,288, in the 18th percentile. That figure is $7,013 below the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Graduates earn about $3,706 less than expects for similar students, placing that gap at the 41st percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth places the return in the 17th 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 $1,056. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $4,762. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $769.

Earnings four years after completion vary considerably by field at Texas A & M International University. The downside earnings scenario sits at $40,998, while the upside scenario reaches $69,501 — a spread that reflects the university's mix of programs.

Nursing completers earn a median of $83,327, the highest among the university's programs with earnings data. Systems Engineering graduates follow at $60,126, and Mathematics completers earn $55,272.

The largest program, Criminal Justice, awards 178 degrees and shows a median of $48,833.

An estimated 32.7% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, the median earnings understate the eventual earnings of the sizable share of completers who pursue advanced degrees.

School and program earnings use pooled 2017–18 and 2018–19 completion cohorts, measured in 2022 and 2023 and expressed in 2024 dollars. How the model works.

How could earnings differ from the median?

The planning scenarios range from $40,998 to $69,501, around the reported median of $50,288. Compare the lower scenario with Texas A & M International University borrowing and monthly payments to see how a smaller income could change your plan.

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 Texas A & M International 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.

Texas A & M International University graduates’ reported earnings are $3,706 below that expectation, the 41st 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 Texas A & M International University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Texas A & M International University report the highest earnings?

The largest programs at Texas A & M International University show a clear split. The fields that award the most degrees differ from the one that pays the most four years after completion.

Criminal Justice awards the most degrees, at 178, with a median of $48,833. Azimuth ranks it #140 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions in its field.

Psychology is close behind in size, at 165 degrees awarded, and its median earnings of $39,993 rank #315 nationally. Nursing is the highest-earning of the large programs, with 108 degrees awarded and a median of $83,327.

Azimuth ranks it #189 in its field. The contrast between that figure and the earnings in the two largest programs is the main story in the program data.

Azimuth ranks 15 of the university's bachelor's programs nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions. The best-ranked is Systems Engineering, at #9 in its field and #1 in Texas, with 45 degrees awarded and median earnings of $60,126 four years after completion.

The largest program is Criminal Justice, with 178 degrees awarded and a national rank of #140. Psychology follows at 165 degrees, and Business Administration and Management at 141.

Earnings vary widely by field. Nursing graduates earn a median of $83,327, the highest among the university's programs, while Psychology graduates earn $39,993.

The largest program and the highest-earning one are not the same, so the return a graduate sees depends heavily on the field they choose.
