Outcomes
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 $44,486, near the middle of the national range. That median masks a wide range, from $24,003 at the 25th percentile to $69,934 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $41,572, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying. 3.3% of students climb from the bottom income quintile to the top, which is what an engine of mobility actually looks like.
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.
