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 $44,316 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. The middle half of the students measured earn between $23,484 and $65,949 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Regional prices cut into it: cost-adjusted, the median is effectively $40,025. Default tells the same story: 0.0% of borrowers default within three years, well under the national rate. On mobility, 3.0% of students move from the bottom fifth of the income distribution to the top.

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.
