Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $62,601, in the 59th percentile. That is $5,300 above the $57,301 median for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Graduates earn about $6,923 more than the model expects for similar students. That places the gap at the 76th percentile, and Azimuth places the university at the 64th percentile for return among nonprofit four-year institutions.
The part the model attributes to the factors it measures adds $7,669. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $746. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $2,499.
Graduates of Wright State University-Main Campus earn about $6,923 more than the model expects for similar students, a result that ranks in the 76th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Four years after completion, the median earnings of its graduates reach $62,601, which is above the peer median of $57,301 for comparable institutions (same type and size).
The earnings cohort includes 3,017 completers. Earnings scenarios anchored on the university's program mix show a downside scenario of $42,622 and an upside scenario reaching $85,461.
An estimated 29.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. The university's strongest pillar is mobility, where Azimuth ranks it in the 76th percentile.
The combination of higher-than-expected earnings and a substantial completers group points to an institution where the typical graduate's outcome exceeds what the model predicts for students with similar backgrounds.

Graduates earn about $6,923 more than the model expects for similar students, placing that gap at the 76th percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $7,669.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $746. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $2,499.
Azimuth ranks the university #536 for return among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings scenarios grounded in the program mix show a downside of $42,622 and an upside of $85,461, with the typical scenario at $62,601.
The earnings picture is shaped by a program mix where the largest fields are not the highest-paying ones. The model attributes most of the earnings advantage to the fields students choose and the local labor market rather than to what it cannot explain.
An estimated 29.0% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix. That means the four-year earnings snapshot captures most graduates at a point when they are working.
The return pillar sits at the 64th percentile, with earnings above the peer median and above the model's expectation. The attribution split shows the measured factors carrying nearly all of the advantage.
The earnings scenarios at Wright State University-Main Campus span from a downside of $42,622 to an upside of $85,461 four years after completion. That range reflects the variation across the university's 35 programs with published earnings data.
The highest-earning programs illustrate the upper end of that spread: Computer Engineering completers earn a median of $97,659, Computer and Information Sciences graduates reach $92,006, and Electrical Engineering completers earn $89,391. These engineering and computing fields sit well above the university-wide median, while programs in the social sciences and education anchor the lower end of the range.
Graduates of Wright State University-Main Campus earn about $6,923 more than the model expects for similar students, and the university's affordability pillar sits at the 73rd percentile nationally. The return picture is mixed: earnings beat the model but the median sits above the peer median.
The published cost of attendance is $24,373, but the average net price—what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships—is $15,415. That average is above the $14,068 median for comparable institutions (same type and size) by $1,347.
Borrowers who complete a degree leave with a median of $22,750 in federal student loans, which is above the peer median of $21,229 by $1,521. That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $259 a month if repaid over ten years. Parents who borrow hold a separate median of $14,381.
