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 years after entry the median student earns $73,997, an outcome that puts this school in the top tier for undergraduate earnings. The spread is wide — $50,150 at the 25th percentile against $109,163 at the 75th — so the median hides very different outcomes depending on major and path. Regional prices cut into it: cost-adjusted, the median is effectively $71,419. Median debt among completers is $21,500, roughly the national norm. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.29 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn.

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.
