The percentage is the share of this school's reported awards or completions attributed to the field. It is not the share of enrolled students, a student headcount, or proof of department quality. College Scorecard price and earnings on this page are school-wide, not major-specific. Verify current credentials and department 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.

Criminal Justice and Corrections accounts for 2.5% of the awards or completions reported for Salem Community College. That award concentration is higher than at 39% of schools in this field set and is below the national average award concentration.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,020 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $9,344 below the $47,364 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 Salem Community College treats the field as academic, pre-law, corrections, forensic, or tied to an approved academy pathway.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Salem Community College #635 of 1,346 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
