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 (5.9%), school-wide average net price ($16,590), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($38,924), and peer averages from 1,346 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 1,346 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of C, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,494 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,440 below). Together, those evidence points place Texas Southern University in the top 78% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Criminal Justice and Corrections accounts for 5.9% of reported programs at Texas Southern University, which is bigger than 77% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 402 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Texas Southern University's average net price is $16,590 per year, about $66,360 over four years. That is $1,494 above the $15,096 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $38,924 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,440 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 Texas Southern University 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 Texas Southern University #1,044 of 1,346 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
