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 reach $64,209 a decade after entry — strong in absolute terms and strong relative to peers. The spread is wide — $36,661 at the 25th percentile against $90,195 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $61,972, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Completers leave with a median debt of $18,683 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.29, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain.

Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)

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.
