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.

A decade after entry the median student earns $52,581, near the middle of the national range. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $32,485 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $79,745. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $56,679 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Completers leave with a median debt of $21,056 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.40 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.
