Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (70,779 graduates). Each point is one published percentile, not an average across fields.
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 $55,198 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The quartile range runs $36,193 to $78,569, typical for an undergraduate institution. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $59,143. Students who finish carry a median of $20,000 in debt. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.36 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.
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.
