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 $38,008 — low enough that cost and debt deserve extra scrutiny. The quartile range runs $19,868 to $57,015, typical for an undergraduate institution. On a cost-of-living-adjusted basis the median is worth $42,156, a meaningful premium over the nominal number. Students who finish carry a median of $20,000 in debt. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.53, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.
