Outcomes
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.
Economic mobility (Opportunity Insights)
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.

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.
