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 reach $65,071 a decade after entry — strong in absolute terms and strong relative to peers. The middle half of the students measured earn between $42,399 and $86,864 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $72,221 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Completers leave with a median debt of $23,417 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.36 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.
