Completers Only: Federal median earnings data strictly reflects outcomes for students who successfully graduated. Students who do not complete their degree typically earn significantly less and face higher risks of debt default.
Annual Full Cost vs. Median Earnings
Each dot represents one program at an institution. Shows the spread of annual sticker price (or net price if sticker price is unavailable) vs earnings 4 years post-grad.
SAT Average vs. Median Earnings
Each dot represents one program at an institution, plotted by that institution's average SAT score. SAT scores describe the school's undergraduate admissions overall, not this program, and come from enrollees who submitted scores.
Acceptance Rate vs. Median Earnings
Each dot represents one program at an institution, plotted by that institution's undergraduate acceptance rate, with the most selective schools on the right. Schools without a reported rate are grouped on the left.

Boulder Not scored. Graduates of this program earn more than graduates of the school's bachelor's degree in the same field, and about 2.0× the national median for this credential. That usually means students arrived already holding a degree or years of work experience. Our model assumes a student starting right after high school, so it can't measure what this program added.
