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 regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.7%), school-wide average net price ($29,310), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($49,697), and peer averages from 154 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%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 154 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($5,549 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($1,454 below). Together, those evidence points place Hope International University in the top 87% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Pastoral Counseling and Specialized Ministries accounts for 0.7% of reported programs at Hope International University, which is bigger than 32% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 4 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Hope International University's average net price is $29,310 per year, about $117,240 over four years. That is $5,549 above the $23,761 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $49,697 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,454 below the $51,151 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Hope International University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Hope International University #134 of 154 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
