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 (1%), school-wide average net price ($2,288), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($46,861), and peer averages from 223 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.

Questions about this program
How big is the program signal?
Homeland Security accounts for 1% of reported programs at Middlesex College, which is bigger than 70% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 86 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Middlesex College's average net price is $2,288 per year, about $9,152 over four years. That is $14,779 below the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $46,861 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,564 below the $51,425 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 Middlesex 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 Middlesex College #3 of 223 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
