University of North Carolina at Greensboro Career Outcomes & Earnings

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.

Earnings at University of North Carolina at Greensboro depend heavily on the field a student chooses. Scenarios estimated from the program mix range from $42,326 on the downside to $66,845 on the upside, with $51,594 as the typical earnings scenario.

The highest-earning programs sit above the upside scenario. Computer Science graduates earn a median of $86,372 four years after completion, from 56 degrees awarded.

Nursing follows at $80,383, and Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications — a program Azimuth ranks #5 nationally within its field — at $68,293.

Further study is a factor in interpreting the reported earnings. An estimated 29.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment.

Since four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing their education are outside that snapshot.

Program choice makes the earnings picture uneven, ranging from a nationally prominent technical field to fields with more moderate four-year results. Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications reports median earnings of $68,293 four years after completion across 109 degrees awarded; Azimuth ranks it #5 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions in its field.

Nursing has median earnings of $80,383 and 161 degrees awarded, with an Azimuth national field rank of #248. At a more moderate earnings level, Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management shows $42,920 across 20 degrees awarded and ranks #11 nationally by Azimuth among nonprofit four-year institutions in its field.

Dance records $45,084 with 23 degrees awarded; Azimuth places it #13 nationally in its field. The contrast between these fields shows why the program selected matters when reading four-year earnings.
