The lower net price and affordability standing point in the same direction for aid recipients.

For families receiving aid, Texas A&M University-Kingsville has a published cost of attendance of $24,060, with costs after grants and scholarships differing across family-income bands. Average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $10,207 in the lowest family-income band, $10,960 in the lower-middle band, $12,700 in the middle band, $15,325 in the upper-middle band, and $19,553 in the highest band.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $9,346, and Azimuth ranks the university #260 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Aid covers about 50% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, rather than promising the same result for every family.

Across all aid recipients, the average net price is $12,090 after average financial-aid savings of $11,970 against the sticker price. That figure is $1,978 below the peer median net price of $14,068, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size).

Published in-state tuition and fees are $9,892, compared with $25,746 for out-of-state tuition and fees. Among borrowers who complete, median federal student loan debt is $22,934, and 80.2% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans.

The peer median debt is $21,229 at comparable institutions (same type and size), placing the university's figure $1,705 above that benchmark. That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $261 a month if repaid over ten years.

Parent PLUS borrowers have median borrowing of $14,224.

Return at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is mixed: graduates earn about $9,314 more than the model expects for similar students. That earnings-beyond-expectations measure, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, is in the 82nd percentile.

Azimuth places the return pillar in the 53rd 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 $1,068.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $8,246. Four years after completion, the median earnings figure is $56,982, in the 39th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, with Texas A&M University-Kingsville below it by $319. Higher-than-expected earnings and a modest peer edge sit alongside a lower earnings percentile.

The schoolwide earnings measure is a useful starting point, while earnings scenarios show that outcomes can differ across program mixes. Among federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, Texas A&M University-Kingsville reports median earnings of $56,982 four years after completion.

Azimuth places that earnings measure in the 39th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The measure is based on an earnings cohort of 1,177 completers.

The typical earnings scenario is $56,982 four years after completion; scenarios are model outputs, not observed groups. An estimated 27.1% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

The median gives the schoolwide reference point, and the scenarios supply context for differences by field.

Texas A&M University-Kingsville posts median earnings of $56,982 four years after completion, in the 39th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, with the university below it by $319.

Graduates earn about $9,314 more than the model expects for similar students, placing earnings beyond expectations. That gap is in the 82nd percentile.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $1,068. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $8,246.

Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $3,081. Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix run from $42,526 on the downside to $84,300 on the upside.

Azimuth places the return pillar in the 53rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, pairing earnings above the peer median with higher-than-expected earnings. At the high end of the program earnings data, Chemical Engineering has 29 degrees awarded and median earnings of $97,811 four years after completion.

Azimuth ranks it #75 nationally within its field.

Program choice matters here: earnings scenarios run from $42,526 in the downside scenario to $84,300 in the upside scenario, both four years after completion. These are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups.

The higher end is illustrated by Chemical Engineering at $97,811, Electrical Engineering at $94,810, and Mechanical Engineering at $88,830 four years after completion. Those field-level medians show why the modeled range is wider than the schoolwide figure alone suggests.

For families weighing price against outcomes, Texas A&M University-Kingsville has an average net price below that of comparable institutions. The average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $12,090, below the $14,068 peer median for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $1,978.

Graduates earn about $9,314 more than the model expects for similar students. Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $22,934, above the $21,229 peer median at comparable institutions (same type and size) by $1,705.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $261 a month if repaid over ten years. The lower net price and higher-than-expected earnings point favorably, though borrower debt sits above the peer median.

Admission is relatively broad at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, where 90.9% of applicants were admitted in the reported entering class. This is above the median of 85.9% for comparable institutions (same type and size), placing the reported rate higher than its comparison point.

The figure summarizes that reported applicant pool rather than setting a cutoff or forecasting a decision.

At Texas A&M University-Kingsville, program earnings differ across fields, so the schoolwide figure does not describe every academic option. These medians cover completers working four years after completion, with higher- and moderate-earning fields separated clearly.

For Agriculture, median earnings are $58,245 and 26 degrees awarded; Azimuth ranks the field #10 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions. Music records $57,117 with 32 degrees awarded and ranks #14 nationally by Azimuth among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Industrial Production Technologies/Technicians has $71,207 in median earnings, 29 degrees awarded, and an Azimuth rank of #24 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions. The contrast shows why program choice matters for the return picture.

Texas A&M University-Kingsville has 17 bachelor’s programs with an Azimuth national field rank, alongside published earnings for 22 programs. The ranked programs span distinct earnings levels, so the field chosen matters to the outcome picture.
