Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (55,338 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.
A decade after entry the median student earns $57,624, near the middle of the national range. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $34,835 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $84,162. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $52,409 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Completers leave with a median debt of $18,500 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.32, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain.

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.
