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 $53,755 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The quartile range runs $37,138 to $74,504, typical for an undergraduate institution. Median debt among completers is $19,750, roughly the national norm. At 0.37, debt is serviceable but leaves graduates less room than the figures above suggest. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying.

Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)

One row per field and graduating cohort. Rows that share a field are different graduating classes, not repeats.

Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients — earnings measured 1, 5 and 10 years after graduation, unlike the Scorecard figures above. The all-fields institution total is published separately and is not one of the rows above. A cohort label covers a pooling window of three or five graduating years, which PSEO does not publish per cell.
