Since 2013, the Colorado Department of Higher Education has been working to develop earnings outcomes tools accessible to Colorado students and families. This interactive tool depicts annual median earnings for Colorado graduates one, five and 10 years following the completion of a credential. Use this tool to search for median earnings based on institution of higher education, degree level, and program of study.
The data represent graduates of Colorado public institutions along with graduates of Regis University, Colorado Christian University and the University of Denver.
The work has enabled Colorado to form a lasting partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau to spearhead a project that involves nationwide degree completion datasets. The Postsecondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) project leverages federal data linkages facilitated by the Census Bureau to provide national UI wage datasets on individuals who completed a degree program in Colorado, but who have left the state after graduation. This project allows Colorado to leverage an expanded data source to better inform students when they are making their education decisions.
