Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (105,186 graduates). Each point is one published percentile, not an average across fields.
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 $59,221 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. That median masks a wide range, from $39,848 at the 25th percentile to $87,405 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $66,675. Students who finish carry a median of $22,750 in debt. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.38, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.
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.
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.
