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 (16.9%), school-wide average net price ($16,927), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($45,389), and peer averages from 436 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.

Student Counseling and Personnel Services accounts for 16.9% of reported programs at University of the Southwest, which is bigger than 100% of schools in this field set and 11.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 58 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
University of the Southwest's average net price is $16,927 per year, about $67,708 over four years. That is $2,121 below the $19,048 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $45,389 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $10,806 below the $56,195 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 the Southwest'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 the Southwest #282 of 436 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
