How the numbers work
What the numbers are. Median earnings 4 years after finishing a credential: 2017-18 + 2018-19 graduates, measured in calendar years 2022-23, in 2024 dollars. Counted: graduates who received federal aid, were working (at least $1 of earnings) and were not enrolled in school. Earnings are W-2 wages plus positive self-employment earnings. Debt: median federal student-loan debt at completion for 2018-19 + 2019-20 completers, across all schools attended at the same level — federal loans to students only (no Parent PLUS, Perkins, or private loans). The monthly payment is the source file's 10-year standard-repayment figure.
What Top XX% means here. Among programs in the same field and credential level with a published 4-year median, Top XX% = 100 minus the share earning less than this program. Ties share the same rank. Top% is rounded to the nearest whole percent. Programs with no published median are not in the ranking and are never estimated — the file does not say why a median is missing, so this page does not guess.
Too few to rank. When fewer than 20 programs in a field and credential level have published earnings, no Top% is shown. The median itself is still shown, with the count, so you can judge how thin the comparison is.
Coverage and limits. This site covers 424 fields of study and every credential level in the source file, currently operating schools only, joined to the institution file for city and state. Source-file rows with no school ID were excluded (5,573), as were rows with no institution-file match (2,386) and rows at schools no longer operating (500). Of 215,128 programs kept, 54,463 have a published 4-year median. Medians describe groups of graduates, not any one person. Earnings reflect who enrolls and where graduates work as well as what a program teaches, and are not adjusted for cost of living. Not a promise about any individual outcome. The Department of Education reports some multi-location schools combined; where that happens, campuses may show identical figures.
