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 $55,356 ten years after entry, close to the typical four-year result. The quartile range runs $40,426 to $75,834, typical for an undergraduate institution. Regional prices work in graduates' favor here: the cost-adjusted equivalent of that median is $58,827. Completers leave with a median debt of $23,188 — unremarkable for a four-year degree. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.42 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.
