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.

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%.

Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Social Work accounts for 0.6% of reported programs at Mississippi State University, which is bigger than 10% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 116 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $51,513 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,188 below the $52,701 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
