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 $68,804, an outcome that puts this school in the top tier for undergraduate earnings. That median masks a wide range, from $41,246 at the 25th percentile to $91,962 at the 75th — what you study matters more than where. Regional prices cut into it: cost-adjusted, the median is effectively $65,057. Median debt among completers is $25,000, roughly the national norm. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.36 sits right at the threshold where borrowing starts to constrain choices.

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.
