University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated September 30, 2026

How much do University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduates earn?

The reported median is $54,344 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is -$2,957 per year.

Affordability is stronger than return at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Azimuth puts the return in the 32nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $6,554 less than expects for similar students. That earnings-beyond-expectations gap, between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students, is in the 30th 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 $5,237. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $11,791.

Of the measured factors, the STEM component subtracts $17. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $54,344 four years after completion, in the 30th percentile.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301; the university is $2,957 below. Both comparisons point in the same direction.

Earnings vary across fields at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, with earnings scenarios running from $46,473 on the downside to $74,858 on the upside. The typical earnings scenario is $54,344, and all three are modeled from the program mix rather than observed graduate groups.

Among higher-earning fields, Nursing reports median earnings of $84,588 four years after completion; Accounting reports $77,802, and Computer Science reports $69,304. Those field results span a noticeably different range from the school-level scenario.

An estimated 31.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, so this estimate matters when reading the reported earnings figure.

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 Wisconsin-Green Bay 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 Wisconsin-Green Bay graduates’ reported earnings are $6,554 below that expectation, the 30th 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 Wisconsin-Green Bay caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Further analysis

Program choice brings a wide modeled earnings range: scenarios grounded in the program mix place the downside at $46,473, the typical case at $54,344, and the upside at $74,858. Nursing anchors the high end at $84,588 four years after completion; among the largest programs, Education is lowest at $44,331.

This variation by field makes the scenarios a range rather than observed groups.

For federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has median earnings of $54,344 four years after completion. Azimuth places that measure in the 30th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, based on an earnings cohort of 1,537 completers.

The typical earnings scenario matches the school-level median, with a downside scenario of $46,473 and an upside scenario of $74,858. These scenarios are based on the program mix, not observed groups of graduates.

An estimated 31.4% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. Graduates earn about $6,554 less than the model expects for similar students.

The scenarios show variation by field, while the overall earnings measure and model comparison both point to a weaker return picture.
