Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (2,169 graduates). Each point is one published percentile, not an average across fields.
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.
Median earnings ten years after entry are $40,873, below the typical undergraduate outcome. The quartile range runs $23,889 to $59,320, typical for an undergraduate institution. Graduates who finish leave owing a median of $27,000, which is a lot to service. At 0.66, 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.
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.

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.
