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 $55,017, near the middle of the national range. That median masks a wide range, from $35,705 at the 25th percentile to $94,200 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $49,690 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Completers leave with a median debt of $15,650 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.28 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn.
