ANOMALY ENGINE · NOTABLE SIGNALS

Earnings, completion, debt, and enrollment anomalies at UF

Short-arc shifts (recent 3-year window), peer outliers, earnings trend breaks, completion drops, enrollment cliffs, and debt-to-earnings warnings — surfaced deterministically from the federal record. Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

LONG-ARC SHIFT · TRENDING BETTER-100%

3-year cohort default rate

3-year cohort default rate at University of Florida fell 100% between 2021 and 2024 (0.9% → 0.0%).

PEER OUTLIER · TRENDING BETTER+27%

Public bachelor's-predominant peer

10-year earnings at University of Florida are 27% above the public bachelor's-predominant peer median ($71.6k vs $56.5k).

SECTION 02 · EARNINGS HORIZONS

How UF 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).

SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

What loans cost relative to earnings at UF

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.

“UF graduates earn $X” — not “UF makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending UF 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.
