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 $56,922 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. With the 25th percentile at $40,047 and the 75th at $77,949, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Completers leave with a median debt of $21,106 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.37, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying.

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.
