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 years after entry the median student earns $81,054, an outcome that puts this school in the top tier for undergraduate earnings. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $54,886 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $116,541. Completers leave with a median debt of $19,500 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.24 is comfortable — debt is a small fraction of what graduates earn. A three-year default rate of 0.0% confirms borrowers here are managing their loans.

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.
