Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
College Scorecard institution medians at 1, 6 and 10 years after entry. The P25/P75 band is scaled from the 10-year percentile spread, not separately published at each horizon.
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 $51,892 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The spread is wide — $31,424 at the 25th percentile against $79,952 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $57,613, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Debt at completion is low, a median of $6,500. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.13 means borrowing here is proportionate to the payoff.
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.
