Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
College Scorecard institution medians at 1, 6 and 10 years after entry. The P25/P75 band is scaled from the 10-year percentile spread, not separately published at each horizon.
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 $50,416 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. With the 25th percentile at $29,455 and the 75th at $72,234, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $54,019. Completers leave with a median debt of $24,000 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.48, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.

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.
