Unity Environmental University Earnings: $45K (2026)

How much do Unity Environmental University graduates earn?

The reported median is $45,016 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is -$23,234 per year.

Return is the weakest of the four at Unity Environmental University, sitting at the 7th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. For federal aid recipients who have completed a degree and are employed and no longer enrolled, the median four years after completion is $45,016, in the 10th percentile.

That median is $23,234 below the $68,250 figure for comparable institutions (same type and size). Federal aid recipients who complete a degree earn about $17,854 less than expects for similar students.

That result falls at the 6th percentile. The factors the model measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $1,603.

What the model leaves unexplained subtracts $19,457. The STEM element within those factors adds $1,573.

The earnings scenarios show a range from $39,030 on the downside to $54,220 on the upside. These are scenarios estimated from the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.

At the program level, Environmental/Natural Resources Management and Policy graduates earn $53,934 four years after completion, from 35 degrees awarded. Ecology, Evolution, Systematics, and Population Biology follows at $44,652, with 22 degrees awarded.

An estimated 35.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so those continuing their education are outside that snapshot.

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 Unity Environmental 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.

Unity Environmental University graduates’ reported earnings are $17,854 below that expectation, the 6th 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 Unity Environmental University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
