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.

A decade after entry the median student earns $59,986, near the middle of the national range. The spread is wide — $38,195 at the 25th percentile against $88,091 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $64,273 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Students who finish carry a median of $24,250 in debt. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.40 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.
