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.
Ten-year median earnings of $22,544 trail most four-year institutions. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $24,155, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Debt at completion runs to a median of $42,002. At 1.86, graduates carry more debt than these earnings comfortably support. Default tells the same story: 0.0% of borrowers default within three years, well under the national rate.
Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)
One row per field and graduating cohort. Rows that share a field are different graduating classes, not repeats.
| Field | Graduating cohort | Years after grad | P25 | Median | P75 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Social Sciences (45) | 0000 | 1 | $25,157 | $32,883 | $39,998 |
| Social Sciences (45) | 0000 | 5 | $41,920 | $53,202 | $63,214 |
| Criminology (45.04) | 0000 | 1 | $26,467 | $35,298 | $47,802 |
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.
