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 $34,421 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The quartile range runs $17,463 to $53,014, typical for an undergraduate institution. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $36,716. Students who finish carry a median of $26,123 in debt. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.76 is the clearest warning sign on this page.

Earnings percentiles by field (Census PSEO)

One row per field and graduating cohort. Rows that share a field are different graduating classes, not repeats.

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.
