Source: College Scorecard, June 2026 release, reported for New Mexico State University-Main Campus. College Scorecard and IPEDS report some multi-campus systems as one shared figure rather than per campus, so these figures may already cover more than this one campus. Earnings cover federally aided students only, so they do not cover every graduate.
