Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $57,364, in the 40th percentile. That is $63 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Azimuth places the return pillar in the 43rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $3,910 more than the model expects for similar students.
That puts the gap at the 68th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $1,206.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $2,704. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $896.

Graduates earn about $3,910 more than the model expects for similar students. That particular result falls at the 68th 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 $1,206. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $2,704.
Inside the measured factors, the STEM component adds $896. The degrees cluster in business, interdisciplinary studies and psychology, with a smaller STEM footprint.
The downside earnings scenario, estimated from the program mix, is $45,340 and the upside is $74,813. An estimated 28.5% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
The earnings scenarios point to a wide range: from $45,340 on the downside to $74,813 on the upside, with $57,364 as the typical scenario. These are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.
At the upper end, Finance graduates earn $80,774 four years after completion, from 30 degrees awarded a year. Computer and Information Sciences follows at $79,123, with 37 degrees awarded. The largest program, Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies, reports $53,837.
Graduates of Texas A&M University-Victoria earn about $3,910 more than the model expects for similar students. Those earnings come with federal student debt that is $2,256 below the median at comparable institutions (same type and size).
Borrowers who finish hold a median of $18,973 in federal loans. If repaid over ten years, that debt gives an estimated monthly payment of $216.
