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.

A decade after entry the median student earns $47,856, near the middle of the national range. With the 25th percentile at $26,276 and the 75th at $68,319, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $43,525 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Completers leave with a median debt of $20,500 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.43, debt is serviceable but leaves graduates less room than the figures above suggest.

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.
