University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Career Outcomes & Earnings

Updated October 1, 2026

How much do University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point graduates earn?

The reported median is $51,548 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $57,301 as its benchmark; the difference is -$5,753 per year.

At University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, mobility is the strongest , and return is the weakest pillar. Azimuth places its return pillar in the 23rd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $9,432 less than expects for similar students. Azimuth places that modeled gap in the 21st 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 $2,250. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $11,682.

Four years after completion, median earnings are $51,548. Azimuth puts that earnings level in the 22nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Compared with the peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), of $57,301, it is $5,753 below. The model and peer comparisons point in the same direction.

At University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, earnings scenarios show a broad earnings spread across the program mix. The downside scenario places earnings at $43,188, and the upside scenario reaches $69,666.

These are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups. At the upper end, Chemical Engineering completers earn median earnings of $100,375 four years after completion.

Paper Science and Engineering completers earn $99,625, and Computer Software and Media Applications completers earn $84,809. The program figures show how the modeled range can differ by field.

An estimated 31.1% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Four-year earnings include completers who are working and not enrolled, so the estimate means some graduates pursuing further study are outside that earnings snapshot.

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-Stevens Point 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-Stevens Point graduates’ reported earnings are $9,432 below that expectation, the 21st 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-Stevens Point caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point report the highest earnings?

Program choice matters at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where higher-earning fields sit apart from some of the largest offerings. Chemical Engineering has median earnings of $100,375 four years after completion, with 18 degrees awarded.

Paper Science and Engineering is close behind at $99,625 and 15 degrees awarded. Among larger programs, Business Administration and Management records $64,760 four years after completion across 96 degrees awarded, while Teacher Education records $45,181 across 108 degrees awarded.

The contrast between those moderate-earning fields and the higher-earning programs makes field selection central to the earnings picture.

Program earnings vary widely across the 37 fields with published data, giving applicants reason to look past the schoolwide result. Chemical Engineering awarded 18 degrees and had median earnings of $100,375 four years after completion.

Paper Science and Engineering awarded 15 degrees, with median earnings of $99,625 at the same point. Computer Software and Media Applications awarded 7 degrees and shows median earnings of $84,809 four years after completion.

These smaller high-earning fields stand apart from the broader program mix, so the program pages offer a more specific earnings picture.

Further analysis

Program mix leaves a wide modeled earnings range. The downside earnings scenario is $43,188, the typical scenario is $51,548, and the upside scenario is $69,666.

At the ends, Chemical Engineering has median earnings of $100,375 four years after completion, whereas Teacher Education has $45,181, the lowest earnings figure among the largest programs. Field variation is visible in both the scenarios and these program results.

At University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled report median earnings of $51,548 four years after completion. Azimuth places this earnings measure in the 22nd percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, based on an earnings cohort of 2,350 completers.

A typical earnings scenario, based on the program mix, is $51,548, with a downside scenario of $43,188 and an upside scenario of $69,666. Graduates earn about $9,432 less than the model expects for similar students.

This is earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students. An estimated 31.1% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix.

The scenario range shows variation across program mixes, while the model places overall earnings below expectations.
