The median ten-year earnings figure of $45,388 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Graduates carry a median of $24,500 in debt — in line with the national norm.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Completion is the problem here: 31% graduate within six years. Just 47% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 17% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. Retention drops to 35% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 836 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $11,562 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The income table below is the number that matters — $9,578 at $0–30k versus $17,771 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 68% of students at an average of $6,121. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
