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.

Median earnings settle at $48,191 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $24,355 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $74,876. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $50,048 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Graduates who finish leave owing a median of $31,500, which is a lot to service. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.65 is high — debt is large relative to what this degree earns.
