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 $55,939, near the middle of the national range. That median masks a wide range, from $35,542 at the 25th percentile to $84,067 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $62,502. Students who finish carry a median of $22,500 in debt. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.40, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.

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.
