Wentworth Institute of Technology Career Outcomes & Earnings

Wentworth Institute of Technology shows earnings beyond expectations alongside a high return standing. Azimuth places its return pillar in the 96th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $24,702 more than the model expects for similar students. That measure—the gap between graduate earnings and the model’s expectation for similar students—lands in the 98th 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 $7,941. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $16,761.

Within that share, the STEM component adds $8,003. Federally aided completers working and not enrolled have median earnings of $95,027 four years after completion, in the 96th percentile.

The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $68,250; the university stands $26,777 above it. The model and peer comparison both favor the university.

At Wentworth Institute of Technology, earnings scenarios show that outcomes can differ widely across the program mix. Four years after completion, the downside earnings scenario is $74,914 and the upside scenario is $116,968, with $95,027 as the typical scenario.

These are earnings scenarios, not observed groups of graduates. Individual field medians can extend beyond that range: Computer Science reaches $121,671 four years after completion, while Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications reaches $111,413 and Construction Management reaches $111,195.

The field figures show why the modeled range should be read as a program-mix guide rather than a ceiling.

Four-year earnings need to be read alongside further study: an estimated 23.2% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. Because the earnings measure covers completers who are working and not enrolled, those pursuing graduate study fall outside that earnings snapshot.

The program figures place several technical offerings at the higher end of the school’s earnings range four years after completion. Computer Science records median earnings of $121,671 and 116 degrees awarded in one academic year.

Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications posts $111,413 with 33 degrees awarded, and Construction Management shows $111,195 across 112 degrees awarded. Design and Applied Arts sits at a more moderate $68,160 four years after completion, with 65 degrees awarded.

The contrast between those figures shows that earnings differ materially by field, even among the school’s larger programs.

The degree mix centers on Engineering, which accounts for 39.4% of bachelor’s degrees awarded. Computer & Information Sciences accounts for 20.4%, and Business accounts for 20.3%, so the largest fields span technical and business study.

Computer Science awarded 116 degrees, with median earnings of $121,671 four years after completion. Construction Management awarded 112 degrees and had median earnings of $111,195 four years after completion.

Mechanical Engineering awarded 109 degrees, and its median earnings were $97,124 four years after completion. The largest fields therefore show different scales but consistently technical program options.
