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 $43,596 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. The quartile range runs $24,711 to $65,487, typical for an undergraduate institution. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $42,077, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Debt at completion runs to a median of $33,500. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.77 is the clearest warning sign on this page.

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.
