Outcomes reveal whether the investment pays back. The 4-year completion rate is 94.2%, and the first-year retention rate is 98.1%. Graduates earn a median of $87,555 ten years after enrolling, compared with $86,306 six years post-enrollment. Within three years of entering repayment, 178400.0% of borrowers are making progress on their federal loans, and 87.5% of graduates earn above the high-school threshold. Treating these numbers as a single snapshot alongside the cost cohort is the standard approach for evaluating ROI under the College Scorecard methodology.
