University of North Florida Outcomes: $59K Earnings (2026)

How much do University of North Florida graduates earn?

The reported median is $59,418 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $65,610 as its benchmark; the difference is -$6,192 per year.

Return is the weakest at University of North Florida, a public university whose strongest scores are in affordability and mobility. Azimuth places the return pillar in the 30th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $6,121 less than expects for similar students, a result in the 31st percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $8,677.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $14,798. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $1,188.

Four years after completion, completers earn a median of $59,418, in the 49th percentile nationally. That figure sits below the peer median of $65,610 for comparable institutions (same type and size), a gap of $6,192.

Earnings that trail both the model and the peer median point to a return picture that lags on both measures.

Earnings four years after completion vary widely by field at the University of North Florida, a pattern that shows up in the earnings scenarios: a downside of $45,972, a typical scenario of $59,418, and an upside of $81,347. At the top of the range, Construction Engineering Technology/Technician graduates earn a median of $94,692, Electrical Engineering graduates earn $90,944, and Mechanical Engineering graduates earn $85,995.

The university's largest program, Research and Experimental Psychology, sits near the downside at $45,521.

An estimated 28.9% 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 snapshot misses the eventual returns of the nearly three in ten 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 North Florida 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 North Florida graduates’ reported earnings are $6,121 below that expectation, the 32nd 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 North Florida caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.
