Outcomes
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 settle at $45,427 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The middle half of the students measured earn between $25,500 and $66,776 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $50,435, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Median debt among completers is only $8,800, which changes the arithmetic considerably. At 0.19, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain.
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.
