Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (6,981 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.
Median earnings settle at $52,075 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. With the 25th percentile at $32,168 and the 75th at $71,489, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. The cost-adjusted equivalent is $47,362, so the nominal salary overstates real purchasing power here. Graduates leave owing a median of $14,500 — light enough that even modest earnings clear it quickly. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.28 means borrowing here is proportionate to the payoff.

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.
