The percentage is the share of this school's reported awards or completions attributed to the field. It is not the share of enrolled students, a student headcount, or proof of department quality. College Scorecard price and earnings on this page are school-wide, not major-specific. Verify current credentials and department outcomes with the school. For regulated fields, this data also does not establish state credential eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, or professional outcomes.
Evidence used here: federal awards/completions share (0.9%), school-wide average net price ($7,999), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($40,162), and peer averages from 329 schools reporting awards in this field. Evidence not included: program enrollment, department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, credential eligibility, certification, or licensing-exam outcomes. This page stays available for users because the field appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while its share of reported awards is below 1%.
