Outcomes
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 $35,994 trail most four-year institutions. With the 25th percentile at $17,092 and the 75th at $58,788, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $32,509 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. A three-year default rate of 0.0% confirms borrowers here are managing their loans. Worth pairing with access: 16.8% of students here come from the bottom fifth of the income distribution.
Economic mobility (Opportunity Insights)
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.
