At University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, mobility is stronger, but return is mixed. Azimuth puts its return pillar in the 52nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
Graduates earn about $5,338 less than the model expects for similar students, putting earnings beyond expectations—the gap between graduate earnings and model expectations for similar students—in the 36th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $9,683.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $15,021. The median four years after completion is $60,838, in the 54th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301; this figure is $3,537 above it. Earnings sit above the peer median but below model expectations.
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire reports a median of $60,838 four years after completion for federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled, drawn from a cohort of 2,499 completers. Azimuth places that median at the 54th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The median is $3,537 above the median for comparable institutions (same type and size), which is $57,301. Graduates earn about $5,338 less than the model expects for similar students.
Azimuth places that result at the 36th percentile. That creates a mixed picture: earnings are above the median for comparable institutions but below what the model expects for similar students.
Earnings scenarios drawn from the program mix span from $47,639 on the downside to $84,199 on the upside, with a typical scenario of $60,838. An estimated 30.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire posts median earnings of $60,838 four years after completion, placing the school-level figure in the 54th percentile. That is $3,537 above the peer median of $57,301, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Graduates earn about $5,338 less than the model expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, falls in the 36th percentile.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $9,683. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $15,021.
Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $572. Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix range from $47,639 in the downside scenario to $84,199 in the upside scenario.
Azimuth places the return pillar in the 52nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The peer comparison and the model comparison point in different directions.
The highest-earning program is Computer and Information Sciences, with 83 degrees awarded and median earnings of $106,724 four years after completion. Its program median stands at 1.16x of the national median for its field.
Among larger programs, Business Administration and Management awarded 175 degrees and has median earnings of $66,606; Psychology awarded 162 degrees with $58,458 in median earnings. Nursing awarded 138 degrees and shows median earnings of $78,912, so program-level figures vary across fields.
Program choice makes the modeled earnings range broad at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The downside scenario is $47,639, while the upside scenario is $84,199 four years after completion; these are earnings scenarios, not observed groups.
Management Information Systems and Services reaches $90,193, and Physics reaches $87,033. Those field results show why the modeled range is wider than a single schoolwide figure.
At University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, borrower debt is below the comparable peer median, but modeled earnings provide a caution alongside that cost picture. Among borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $20,909, below the $21,229 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).
That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $238 a month if repaid over ten years. Graduates earn about $5,338 less than the model expects for similar students.
Parent PLUS borrowers, a separate population, have median borrowing of $12,452. The lower borrowing figure and estimated payment sit alongside a less favorable modeled earnings result, leaving a mixed financial picture.
