Outcomes
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 settle at $42,176 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The spread is wide — $20,949 at the 25th percentile against $66,996 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $38,092, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. A three-year default rate of 0.0% confirms borrowers here are managing their loans. Access drives it — 14.2% of the student body starts in the bottom income quintile.
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.
