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 401 programs by CIP field of study or by state to compare graduate earnings, cost, and how widely each program is offered across 59 U.S. states and territories.

Is the program data free to access?+

Yes. Every program page on Clema, including earnings and outcomes, is free to view and needs no account.

Can Clema answer program and outcomes questions automatically?+

Yes. Clema is an AI assistant for institutional research teams that answers data requests in plain language from the College Scorecard, IPEDS, BLS, and other federal sources, in minutes instead of days.

Data: IPEDS Fall 2025–26 provisional · College Scorecard (June 2026 release) · Census PSEO 2019–21 cohorts · BLS OEWS May 2025. Earnings are medians one year after graduation. Rankings use each institution's predominant-credential Scorecard earnings. All sources & release dates →

Explore every U.S. college in one conversation

Clema turns plain-language questions into sourced answers across every U.S. institution — earnings, aid, acceptance, graduation, safety, and athletics from IPEDS, College Scorecard, and 10+ federal datasets, built in.
