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.
Ten-year median earnings of $54,058 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. The middle half of the students measured earn between $33,453 and $76,326 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $60,018 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Completers leave with a median debt of $23,887 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.44 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.
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.
