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.

Ten-year median earnings of $38,709 trail most four-year institutions. The quartile range runs $20,529 to $60,073, typical for an undergraduate institution. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $35,868 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Graduates leave owing a median of $12,000 — light enough that even modest earnings clear it quickly. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.31 means borrowing here is proportionate to the payoff.

Opportunity Insights, students born 1980–1991 — a track record, not a forecast for today's entering class. The mobility rate is a share of all students (bottom-quintile origin and top-quintile outcome); the success rate is the share of bottom-quintile students alone who reach the top. They answer different questions and the second is always the larger number.
