Program rankings reflect post-graduation earnings and debt outcomes from federal College Scorecard data, not institutional prestige or academic reputation. Different programs at the same institution produce varying outcomes because career fields have different earning potential, job market demand, and typical career progression patterns. Nursing and technology programs typically command higher starting salaries due to skills shortages, while humanities and social service fields often emphasize non-monetary rewards alongside moderate earnings. Cohort sizes indicate program enrollment levels and data reliability, with larger cohorts providing more statistical confidence. These outcomes represent graduates who entered the workforce immediately after graduation and may not capture those pursuing graduate education.
