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 $55,813, near the middle of the national range. With the 25th percentile at $39,268 and the 75th at $76,074, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Students who finish carry a median of $21,058 in debt. At 0.38, 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.

Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)

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.
