For Thomas Jefferson University, the return evidence centers on earnings that exceed the model’s expectation. Azimuth assigns the university’s return pillar a 96th percentile standing among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Graduates earn about $25,499 more than the model expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations—the difference between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students—stand in the 98th 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 $6,317. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $19,182.
Among federally aided completers working and not enrolled, median earnings are $87,195 four years after completion, a 93rd percentile placement. The peer median—the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size)—is $68,250, with the university $18,945 above it.
The model and peer measures both indicate earnings above their reference points.
For federally aided completers working and not enrolled, Thomas Jefferson University has median earnings of $87,195 four years after completion. Azimuth places those earnings in the 93rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, drawing on an earnings cohort of 1,434 completers.
Graduates earn about $25,499 more than the model expects for similar students. The typical earnings scenario matches the observed median, while the downside and upside scenarios are $59,381 and $101,504.
An estimated 27.7% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. The earnings standing and higher-than-expected earnings point in the same direction.
Thomas Jefferson University posts high earnings relative to both comparable schools and the model’s expectation. Median earnings are $87,195 four years after completion, in the 93rd percentile nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250, leaving the university $18,945 above it. Graduates earn about $25,499 more than the model expects for similar students.
Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, is in the 98th percentile nationally 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 $6,317.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $19,182. Within the measured factors, the STEM component subtracts $542.
Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix range from a downside of $59,381 to an upside of $101,504. Azimuth ranks the return pillar #55 among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Nursing awarded 466 degrees, and its median earnings are $99,839 four years after completion; Azimuth ranks the field #46 nationally. Allied Health Professions has median earnings of $106,225 four years after completion, with Azimuth ranking the field #2 nationally.
Its earnings are 1.50x the national median for its field. The program figures show high earnings across programs with both substantial and smaller degree counts.
The range of earnings scenarios is wide, so the field selected matters at Thomas Jefferson University. The downside earnings scenario is $59,381 and the upside scenario is $101,504, with $87,195 as the typical scenario; each is modeled from the program mix rather than an observed graduate group.
Among individual fields, median earnings four years after completion are $106,225 in Allied Health Professions, $99,839 in Nursing, and $74,992 in Business Administration and Management. Those figures give the modeled range a concrete shape across fields.
Lower borrower debt gives the earnings picture at Thomas Jefferson University a useful counterweight to its higher average net price. Borrowers who completed had median federal student loan debt of $14,744, below the $24,199 median for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $9,455.
That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $168 a month if repaid over ten years. Graduates earn about $25,499 more than the model expects for similar students.
The average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $28,928, above the $27,371 median among comparable institutions (same type and size) by $1,557. Lower borrower debt and higher-than-expected earnings point one way, while the net price sits above comparable institutions.
