College Scorecard. Earnings are measured ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike — not ten years after graduation.

A decade after entry, the median student earns $37,621 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The middle half of the students measured earn between $21,760 and $57,946 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $42,356, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Graduates who finish leave owing a median of $32,189, which is a lot to service. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.86 is high — debt is large relative to what this degree earns.
