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 $46,498 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. With the 25th percentile at $23,662 and the 75th at $68,052, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $43,086, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Graduates leave owing a median of $10,988 — light enough that even modest earnings clear it quickly. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.24 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.

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.
