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 $43,295 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The quartile range runs $24,842 to $64,755, typical for an undergraduate institution. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $40,118, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Students who finish carry a median of $18,742 in debt. At 0.43, debt is serviceable but leaves graduates less room than the figures above suggest.

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.

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.
