Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)

College Scorecard institution medians at 1, 6 and 10 years after entry. The P25/P75 band is scaled from the 10-year percentile spread, not separately published at each horizon.

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.

A decade after entry the median student earns $50,412, near the middle of the national range. The middle half of the students measured earn between $33,938 and $73,784 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $52,354 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Completers leave with a median debt of $22,500 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.45 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.

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.

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.
