Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Fire Protection accounts for 9.5% of reported programs at Shasta College, which is bigger than 97% of schools in this field set and 5.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 582 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $39,269 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,303 below the $43,572 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
