University of La Verne Outcomes: $64K Median Earnings (2026)

How much do University of La Verne graduates earn?

The reported median is $64,109 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is -$4,141 per year.

Graduates of University of La Verne earn about $6,347 more than expects for similar students, a result in the 75th 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 $2,916.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $3,431. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $481.

Four years after completion, completers earn a median of $64,109, which lands in the 63rd percentile. That figure sits below the peer median of $68,250 for comparable institutions (same type and size), a gap of $4,141.

The return ranks in the 64th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, a position that shows earnings beyond expectations more than raw earnings levels.

The earnings scenarios at University of La Verne span from a downside of $50,848 to an upside of $78,703 four years after completion. That spread reflects the variation across the university's 14 programs with published earnings data.

The highest-earning fields show the upper end of that range: completers from Computer and Information Sciences earn a median of $90,694, Accounting graduates reach $77,520, and completers from the large Business Administration and Management program, with 350 degrees awarded, earn a median of $76,769.

An estimated 31.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure derived from the university's program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings figures capture only those working and not enrolled, the median earnings understate the eventual earnings of the sizable share of completers who pursue advanced degrees.

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 University of La Verne 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.

University of La Verne graduates’ reported earnings are $6,347 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 University of La Verne caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
