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 (3.2%), school-wide average net price ($11,040), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($45,795), and peer averages from 52 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.
Value among peer schools

How should I read the cost number?
Eastern Kentucky University's average net price is $11,040 per year, about $44,160 over four years. That is $5,425 below the $16,465 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $45,795 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,551 below the $50,346 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
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 Eastern Kentucky University 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 Eastern Kentucky University #19 of 52 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
