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 (6.6%), school-wide average net price ($36,079), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($71,530), and peer averages from 725 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.

How big is the program signal?
Social Work accounts for 6.6% of reported programs at Loyola University Chicago, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 1.7x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 770 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Loyola University Chicago's average net price is $36,079 per year, about $144,316 over four years. That is $18,629 above the $17,450 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $71,530 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $18,829 above the $52,701 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 Loyola University Chicago'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 Loyola University Chicago #647 of 725 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
