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 $49,840 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. Regional prices cut into it: cost-adjusted, the median is effectively $45,014. Debt at completion is low, a median of $13,734. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.28 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn. 2.5% of students climb from the bottom income quintile to the top, which is what an engine of mobility actually looks like.

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.
