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 $54,329 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $31,114 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $82,037. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $57,400, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Completers leave with a median debt of $18,750 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.34 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn.

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.

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.
