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 (0.1%), school-wide average net price ($17,799), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($72,950), and peer averages from 223 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. 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%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 223 schools that report this field.

Together, those evidence points place University of Delaware in the top 30% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Homeland Security accounts for 0.1% of reported programs at University of Delaware, which is bigger than 11% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 15 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
University of Delaware's average net price is $17,799 per year, about $71,196 over four years. That is $732 above the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $72,950 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $21,525 above the $51,425 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 University of Delaware 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 University of Delaware #68 of 223 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
