Texas Woman's University Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated

How much do Texas Woman's University graduates earn?

The reported median is $64,179 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is $6,878 per year.

Texas Woman's University pairs above-peer earnings with a favorable modeled comparison. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median $64,179 four years after completion, in the 63rd percentile.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, leaving the university $6,878 above it. Graduates earn about $17,563 more than expects for similar students, an earnings-beyond-expectations measure: the gap between graduates' earnings and what the model expects for similar students.

Azimuth puts it in the 94th percentile and the return in the 80th 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 $4,564.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $12,999. Both comparisons favor the university.

Field choice makes a noticeable difference in the modeled earnings picture at Texas Woman's University. The downside earnings scenario is $50,251 and the upside scenario is $87,017; both are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.

Among individual fields, median earnings four years after completion are $89,115 in Nursing, $76,555 in Computer and Information Sciences, and $71,282 in Finance. Those field-level results help explain the distance between the modeled lower and upper scenarios.

Graduate study changes the context for reading earnings here. An estimated 29.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

Because four-year earnings cover federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, those pursuing further study are outside that earnings snapshot.

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 $50,251 to $87,017, around the reported median of $64,179. Compare the lower scenario with Texas Woman's 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 Woman's 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 Woman's University graduates’ reported earnings are $17,563 above that expectation, the 94th 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 Woman's University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Further analysis

Program-mix-based scenarios put downside earnings at $50,251, typical earnings at $64,179, and upside earnings at $87,017. These are earnings scenarios, not observed groups.

Nursing is the highest-earning program at $89,115 four years after completion; among the largest programs with published earnings, Human Development and Family Studies is lowest at $49,210. The spread shows variation by field.

Texas Woman's University posts median earnings of $64,179 four years after completion among federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled. That is a schoolwide early-career measure, rather than an outcome for any one field.

Azimuth places those earnings in the 63rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, using an earnings cohort of 3,379 completers. The program-mix model sets its typical earnings scenario at $64,179, which is a scenario rather than an observed group of graduates.

An estimated 29.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. The schoolwide earnings measure, its Azimuth standing, and the typical scenario all point to earnings that are solidly above the middle of nonprofit four-year institutions.
