Outcomes reveal whether the investment pays back. The 4-year completion rate is 62.2%. Graduates earn a median of $69,800 ten years after enrolling, compared with $64,709 six years post-enrollment. Within three years of entering repayment, 38000.0% of borrowers are making progress on their federal loans, and 87.6% 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.
