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 $45,388 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. With the 25th percentile at $27,117 and the 75th at $66,038, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $48,925. Students who finish carry a median of $24,500 in debt. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.54, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.

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)

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.
