Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (12,013 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.
Ten-year median earnings of $57,103 are unremarkable — neither the reason to come nor the reason to stay away. The middle half of the students measured earn between $38,573 and $81,440 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Completers leave with a median debt of $19,128 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. At 0.34, debt sits well inside the range graduates can service without strain. Only 0.0% of borrowers default within three years — graduates are repaying.

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.
