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 ten years after entry are $33,281, below the typical undergraduate outcome. The quartile range runs $14,869 to $56,281, typical for an undergraduate institution. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $30,059 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. A three-year default rate of 0.0% confirms borrowers here are managing their loans. Mobility is a genuine strength — 3.9% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top, a rate few institutions reach.

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.
