How earnings spread, 4 to 10 years after entry
Treasury tax-record earnings for federally aided students who first enrolled at this institution. Each point is a horizon from the most-recent vintage. Single median per horizon (no p25/p75 publishing).

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania graduates earn $X” — not “East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania 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.
