Earnings trajectory

Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)

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 $47,397, near the middle of the national range. That median masks a wide range, from $25,502 at the 25th percentile to $73,921 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $49,223. Completers leave with a median debt of $16,666 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.35 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.
