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 years after entry the median student earns $65,607, an outcome that puts this school in the top tier for undergraduate earnings. The quartile range runs $48,888 to $92,889, typical for an undergraduate institution. Median debt among completers is $26,774, roughly the national norm. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.41 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying.

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.

Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)

One row per field and graduating cohort. Rows that share a field are different graduating classes, not repeats.

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.
