Earnings by credential
Annual median earnings 4 years after completion, not starting salaries. Different credentials remain separate; their medians are not averaged.

Who is measured: Federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled during the measurement year; not all graduates. Completion cohorts: 2017-18 and 2018-19; earnings measured in 2022 and 2023, expressed in 2024 dollars. The cohort count belongs to the earnings measure, not the later award years. Published earnings and cohort counts are privacy-protected estimates; small differences should not be overinterpreted.
Awards are a different measure: Awards to all students reported by the individual institution; awards are not unique students. “Suppressed” means the source withholds a value; “Not reported” means unavailable. Neither means zero. Historical awards do not confirm current enrollment or that applications are open.
Reporting scope: CIP 11.07, OPE6 001312, by credential. The source links one institution to this reporting group; these are federal field-level aggregates, not individual course or employer outcomes. No program ROI is calculated from school-wide undergraduate prices.

Undergraduate net price and ten-year earnings use different populations and periods from the credential outcomes above. They cannot establish the cost or return of an associate, graduate or other specific degree.
The legacy award share combines credentials and can use fallback reporting years. Use the separate annual counts above for credential-level evidence; neither measure is current enrollment.

Are these earnings specific to the program?
The credential section reports the federal four-digit field of study and credential level, within an OPE6 reporting group. It is more specific than a university-wide median, but does not measure every concentration, campus or graduate. The source population received federal aid and was working and not enrolled in the measurement year.
Why are some figures missing or suppressed?
The federal source withholds some outcomes for privacy or data-quality reasons. A missing earnings value is not a zero salary or evidence that nobody found work. Annual awards and the earnings cohort count describe different populations and years.
Can I calculate this degree's ROI from the school price?
No. The school-wide average net price is an undergraduate measure, not a quote for this credential. Request the current program tuition, your aid offer and expected time to completion. The school's value grade is not a program ROI score.
Does a listed credential mean I can apply today?
No. Historical federal awards and earnings do not confirm current admissions, curriculum, licensure eligibility or placement. Use the official school site to verify the exact credential, current catalog and requirements before applying.
