University of Toledo Outcomes: $66K Median Earnings (2026)

How much do University of Toledo graduates earn?

The reported median is $66,084 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is $8,783 per year.

University of Toledo delivers earnings that exceed both expectation and the median for comparable institutions. Four years after completion, completers earn a median of $66,084, which is above the peer median of $57,301—the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size)—by $8,783.

Graduates earn about $7,810 more than the model expects for similar students, a result in the 78th percentile. Azimuth places the return in the 69th 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 $10,239. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $2,429.

Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $3,657. The program mix adds to expected earnings, while the institution's own contribution is a small headwind.

Earnings vary widely by program. The earnings scenarios, estimated from the university's program mix, range from a downside of $44,098 to an upside of $88,045, with the typical scenario at $66,084.

At the top end, Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians completers earn a median of $98,529 four years after completion; the program awarded 27 degrees in one year. Electrical Engineering follows at $95,846, and Chemical Engineering at $94,065.

An estimated 27.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated 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 leaves out the portion of completers who are investing in advanced degrees at that point.

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 Toledo 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 Toledo graduates’ reported earnings are $7,810 above that expectation, the 78th 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 Toledo caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at University of Toledo report the highest earnings?

The five largest programs at University of Toledo span nursing, business, and engineering, and their earnings four years after completion show a clear split between technical and non-technical fields. Mechanical Engineering is the highest-earning of the large programs, with a median of $90,717 across 164 degrees awarded.

Azimuth ranks it #95 nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions in its field. Nursing, the largest single program at 277 degrees a year, reports a median of $77,241 and a national rank of #256.

On the more moderate-earning side, Marketing graduates earn a median of $67,040 from 185 degrees awarded, and Azimuth ranks it #95 nationally. Business Administration and Management sits between the two ends, with median earnings of $67,516 and a national rank of #174.

The university publishes earnings data for 39 bachelor's programs, 31 of which hold an Azimuth national rank. The largest, Nursing, awarded 277 degrees and shows a median of $77,241 four years after completion.

Several programs are among the best nationally in their fields. Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration ranks #11 with 130 degrees awarded and a median of $63,190.

Legal Support Services ranks #12 and is second in Ohio with a median of $48,605. Mechanical Engineering, the fourth-largest program, awarded 164 degrees and its completers earn a median of $90,717, the highest among the five largest programs.

Further analysis

Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix show how earnings vary by field: the downside scenario sits at $44,098, the typical scenario at $66,084, and the upside scenario reaches $88,045. Anchoring the range in named programs, Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians reaches $98,529 at the high end, while Marketing sits at $67,040 at the lower end.

The spread between the downside and upside scenarios shows that field choice matters considerably for earnings at this university.

Four years after completion, graduates of University of Toledo earn a median of $66,084, which is above the peer median of $57,301 for comparable institutions (same type and size). The earnings cohort includes 3,359 federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled.

Graduates earn about $7,810 more than the model expects for similar students, a result that places the university in the 78th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings scenarios anchored on the university's program mix show a typical outcome of $66,084, with a downside scenario of $44,098 and an upside scenario reaching $88,045.

An estimated 27.6% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. The earnings picture is broad: the median sits above peers, and the model sees a premium beyond what similar students earn elsewhere.

The spread between the downside and upside scenarios reflects the range of programs available, from engineering and health fields to business and interdisciplinary studies.
