The reported median is $55,112 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is \-$2,189 per year. Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $55,112, in the 33rd percentile. That is $2,189 below the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $6,522 more than the model expects for similar students. That puts the gap at the 75th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) subtracts $7,823. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $14,345. Return is at the 47th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The earnings scenarios show a range from $45,625 on the downside to $67,621 on the upside. These are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates. At the higher end, Management Information Systems and Services graduates earn $86,929 four years after completion, from 32 degrees awarded a year. Finance follows at $64,417, with 37 degrees awarded. An estimated 32.3% 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. **Median earnings · four years after completion** $55,112 **Rank for difference from expectations** 75th percentile Four-year median earnings against two benchmarks **Texas A&M University-San Antonio reported median** $55,112 **Peer schools comparable schools · $2,189 above Texas A&M University-San Antonio** $57,301 **Model expectation what similar students would be expected to earn · $6,522 below Texas A&M University-San Antonio** $48,590 School and program earnings use pooled 2017–18 and 2018–19 completion cohorts, measured in 2022 and 2023 and expressed in 2024 dollars.

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](/methodology/#value-added). Texas A&M University-San Antonio graduates’ reported earnings are $6,522 above that expectation, the 75th 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 University-San Antonio caused a student to earn.

The spread reflects variation by field. Management Information Systems and Services reaches $86,929 at the high end, while Biology, the lowest-earning among the largest programs with published earnings, stands at $45,920. Four years after completing a degree, Texas A&M University-San Antonio graduates earn a median of $55,112 among federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled. The four-year earnings cohort includes 1,719 completers. That figure is below the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). The earnings picture shifts when measured against what the model expects. Graduates earn about $6,522 more than the model expects for similar students, placing the gap at the 75th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
