Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (7,716 graduates). Each point is one published percentile, not an average across fields.
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 ten years after entry are $39,596, below the typical undergraduate outcome. With the 25th percentile at $22,122 and the 75th at $57,949, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $42,682 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Completers leave with a median debt of $23,000 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.58 is the clearest warning sign on this page.
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.

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.
