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.
