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 reach $64,874 a decade after entry — strong in absolute terms and strong relative to peers. Outcomes diverge sharply: a quarter of the students measured earn under $40,834 ten years after entry while a quarter clear $100,222. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is worth closer to $61,341 — the surrounding area is expensive enough to erode part of the headline figure. Students who finish carry a median of $23,704 in debt. The debt-to-income ratio is 0.36, around the commonly cited healthy ceiling — manageable, with little margin.

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.
