Frequently asked questions

What data does each program profile show?+

Each program profile shows graduate earnings, typical cost and debt, and career outlook, mapped to its NCES CIP field of study, drawn from the College Scorecard, IPEDS, and Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

How are graduate earnings for a program measured?+

Earnings come from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard field-of-study data, which reports median earnings of graduates a set period after completion, complemented by Census Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) and Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for career context.

Where does the program data come from?+

All figures come from public federal sources: the College Scorecard and IPEDS (U.S. Department of Education), Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (U.S. Census Bureau), Bureau of Labor Statistics wage and outlook data, and Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment (FVT/GE) program performance data for debt-to-earnings and earnings-premium measures.

Can I compare programs across fields or states?+

Yes. Filter 399 programs by CIP field of study or browse by state to compare graduate earnings, cost, and how widely each program is offered across 51 states.
