Earnings across the first decade (P25 / median / P75)
Census PSEO, bachelor's degree recipients, graduating cohort 0000 (2,441 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.
Ten-year median earnings of $35,339 trail most four-year institutions. The middle half of the students measured earn between $18,828 and $49,657 ten years after entry — a normal spread, so the median is a fair expectation. Adjusted for local cost of living, that median is effectively $37,695 — the surrounding area is cheap enough that the salary stretches further than the raw figure suggests. Students who finish carry a median of $26,700 in debt. A debt-to-income ratio of 0.76 is the clearest warning sign on this page.

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.
