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.

The ten-year median of $69,107 is the number that carries this profile. That median masks a wide range, from $43,599 at the 25th percentile to $98,673 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Completers leave with a median debt of $25,455 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.37, debt is serviceable but leaves graduates less room than the figures above suggest. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying.

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.
