Outcomes
Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (6,885 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 $44,433 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. With the 25th percentile at $27,409 and the 75th at $59,145, outcomes here are about as varied as anywhere else. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $45,784 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Median debt among completers is $24,499, roughly the national norm. At 0.55, graduates carry more debt than these earnings comfortably support.

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.
