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 $45,320 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. With the 25th percentile at $24,244 and the 75th at $66,437, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $42,351, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Students who finish carry a median of $20,500 in debt. At 0.45, 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.
