Earnings cover federally aided graduates only, as published by College Scorecard, institution-wide rather than by one program.

How to read this. This is a whole-college figure across every program, not one program's graduates -- a college with mostly graduate or professional programs will show higher earnings than one that is mostly certificates. Completions shown alongside it are the latest IPEDS total on file.
