Woodbury University Career Outcomes & Earnings

The return case rests on earnings that sit above both the peer midpoint and the model’s expectation. Four years after completion, federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled at Woodbury University have median earnings of $66,794.

That places earnings in the 70th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $55,915, with the university $10,879 above it.

Graduates earn about $11,982 more than the model expects for similar students. That places earnings beyond expectations in the 87th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Azimuth puts the return pillar in the 80th 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) subtracts $6,424.

The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $18,406. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $809. Above-peer earnings and higher-than-expected earnings point the same way.

Earnings vary across the program mix, so the modeled range matters alongside the institutional median. The downside scenario is $50,237, and the upside scenario is $74,641; both are earnings scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates.

Program medians four years after completion are $77,992 in Business Administration and Management, $68,020 in Communication and Media Studies, and $62,092 in Design and Applied Arts. Those field results help show why the earnings scenarios span a broad range.

Further study shapes the reading of the earnings figure: an estimated 28.8% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. Four-year earnings include completers who are working and not enrolled, so graduates in further study do not appear in that snapshot.

At Woodbury University, the published program medians show that field choice matters to the earnings picture four years after completion. Business Administration and Management records median earnings of $77,992 and 12 degrees awarded in an academic year.

Communication and Media Studies follows at $68,020, with 5 degrees awarded. Design and Applied Arts is a more moderate-earning field, reporting $62,092 in median earnings and 34 degrees awarded.

Film/Video and Photographic Arts also sits at the moderate end, with $50,387 in median earnings and 44 degrees awarded. The published fields run from business and communication to design and film, so their reported earnings do not sit at one common level.

Published program results span a wide earnings range across Woodbury University's largest fields. Film/Video and Photographic Arts awarded 44 degrees and had median earnings of $50,387 four years after completion.

Design and Applied Arts awarded 34 degrees, with median earnings of $62,092 at the same point. Business Administration and Management awarded 12 degrees and shows median earnings of $77,992 four years after completion.

Communication and Media Studies awarded 5 degrees and had median earnings of $68,020. The program figures range from creative fields to business, so the field selected matters to the earnings picture.
