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 settle at $55,763 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The middle half of the students measured earn between $40,378 and $78,328 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Regional prices cut into it: cost-adjusted, the median is effectively $51,671. Median debt among completers is only $11,000, which changes the arithmetic considerably. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.20 means borrowing here is proportionate to the payoff.

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.
