Mobility is the stronger pillar at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, but Azimuth puts return in the 24th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Graduates earn about $5,230 less than the model expects for similar students.
Azimuth assigns that result a 36th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions; earnings beyond expectations means the gap between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $6,923.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $12,153. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled have median earnings of $51,594 four years after completion, in the 22nd percentile.
Comparable institutions (same type and size) have a peer median of $65,610, leaving the university $14,016 below that figure. The model result and peer comparison both point below the comparison marks.
