Worcester State University Career Outcomes & Earnings

For federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled, Worcester State University shows earnings above both its modeled expectation and comparable peers. Graduates earn about $3,102 more than the model expects for similar students.

Among nonprofit four-year institutions, earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, sits in the 66th percentile. Azimuth puts return in the 59th 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 $5,007. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $1,905.

Four years after completion, the median is $63,801, in the 62nd percentile. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $57,301, and the university's figure is $6,500 above it.

Earnings above the model's expectation and peer median point in the same direction.

The earnings scenarios show a broad range in earnings across Worcester State’s program mix, from $50,178 in the downside scenario to $79,315 in the upside scenario. These are scenarios rather than observed groups of graduates.

Published program medians help show the range: Nursing reports $92,133, Computer and Information Sciences reports $92,068, and Biotechnology reports $90,565 four years after completion. The program figures make the modeled spread more concrete.

An estimated 32.1% 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 graduates pursuing further study are outside that earnings snapshot.
