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 regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (6.2%), school-wide average net price ($17,760), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($52,231), and peer averages from 827 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.

How big is the program signal?
Special Education and Teaching accounts for 6.2% of reported programs at University of Northern Colorado, which is bigger than 94% of schools in this field set and 3.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 349 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
University of Northern Colorado's average net price is $17,760 per year, about $71,040 over four years. That is $958 below the $18,718 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $52,231 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,122 below the $54,353 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm University of Northern Colorado's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Northern Colorado #430 of 827 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
