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 $51,006 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $31,986 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $84,275. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $47,665 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Completers leave with a median debt of $17,650 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.35 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn.
