SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

What loans cost relative to earnings

Annual debt service as a share of median earnings 10 years after entry, computed under federal Direct loan terms (10-year fixed at 6%). The 8% line is the gainful-employment threshold from federal regulation; above 12% has historically been considered “failing” under prior rule cycles.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus graduates earn $X” — not “University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
