University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do University of Mary Hardin-Baylor graduates earn?

The reported median is $61,024 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $68,250 as its benchmark; the difference is -$7,226 per year.

Graduates of University of Mary Hardin-Baylor earn about $8,021 more than expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 78th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The model attributes more of that gap to a remainder it does not explain than to the factors it measures. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures adds $1,325.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $6,696. Four years after completion, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $61,024, at the 54th percentile.

That is $7,226 below the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Azimuth places the return at the 63rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Field choice corresponds with a wide modeled earnings span at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. The earnings scenarios run from $46,487 on the downside to $88,860 on the upside, and they are modeled from the program mix rather than observed groups of graduates.

Four years after completion, program median earnings are $88,815 in Nursing, $78,344 in Accounting, and $78,137 in Computer Science. Those field results show why a schoolwide scenario range leaves room for very different earnings paths.

An estimated 29.4% 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 graduates continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot. That estimate matters when reading the reported earnings figure.

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.
