The chart below overlays the middle ranges of earnings (25th to 75th percentile) for all graduates (with reported wages) at the specified degree level. The data represent the larger discipline groups that this major falls within. Definitions for the discipline groups (STEM, Liberal Arts, Business & Communication, Social Sciences, Education, and Health Professions) can be found below. The national taxonomy, the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), groups majors into related families at two-digit specification (majors are reported with six digits). Thus, we compare the long-term outcomes of the dscipline group and the major family (two-digit CIP code).

In using the data contained within these reports, users should exercise great care to understand the limitations of the available data and their meaning. Wage outcomes of graduates do not measure the quality or effectiveness of any institution. Instead, they provide basic facts about the experiences of graduates after entering the workforce and indications as to broadest levels of outcome in the Commonwealth - full-time employment, part-time enrollment, and enrollment in higher-level programs.
SCHEV does not endorse or recommend using these data to evaluate program or institution quality.
