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 (0.5%), school-wide average net price ($17,163), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($64,874), and peer averages from 52 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%.
