About Collegehood

What graduates earn and owe, major by major: 13,500 college programs with median earnings and debt from the US Department of Education’s College Scorecard.

Collegehood turns the College Scorecard field-of-study files into a browsable catalog. Each program page shows a single major at a single college and credential level — for example, a bachelor’s in nursing at a state university — with the median earnings of its graduates one, four and five years after completion, the median federal loan debt and the number of recent completers.

Programs are grouped into major families and fields of study using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). College pages add the sector, enrollment, average annual cost, SAT and ACT scores, loan default rate and median earnings ten years after entry. Only programs with published earnings or debt figures get their own page. Figures cover students who received federal financial aid; small cohorts are suppressed by the source. This is reference data, not admissions or financial advice.
