College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school. For criminal justice and related law-enforcement paths, this data does not prove police academy eligibility, state POST certification, background-check readiness, or employer hiring outcomes.

Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.9%), school-wide average net price ($5,240), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($32,421), and peer averages from 1,346 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.

Does this show Criminal Justice licensure or pass rates?

No. EduGradify does not have police academy, state POST, certification, placement, or department pass-rate data for this listing. Criminal justice paths vary by state and employer, so verify whether East Central Community College treats the field as academic, pre-law, corrections, forensic, or tied to an approved academy pathway.

What should I compare next?

Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks East Central Community College #227 of 1,346 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
