Azimuth places the return pillar at the 18th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $49,328, in the 17th percentile.
That is $18,922 below the $68,250 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $6,050 less than the model expects for similar students.
That places the gap at the 32nd percentile. The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $6,362.
The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain subtracts $12,412. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $5,674.

Among nonprofit four-year institutions, that figure is at the 17th percentile. Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix show a downside of $42,383, a typical outcome of $49,328, and an upside of $67,735.
The typical scenario matches the observed median. Because an estimated 46.0% of graduates continue to graduate study based on the program mix, the four-year earnings picture reflects the majority who enter the workforce rather than further study.
