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 $51,725 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $29,635 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $80,326. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $47,537 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Completers leave with a median debt of $16,084 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.31, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain.
