What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other is tracked across 96 U.S. postsecondary institutions in the College Scorecard field-of-study file, which links CIP code classifications from IPEDS to Treasury earnings records. This profile covers the bachelor's credential level specifically, because the Department of Education reports program-level outcomes separately for associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral awards. The CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) taxonomy lets analysts roll up specialties into broader families, which is why earnings medians across schools can be compared on a common basis.
Across all reporting institutions, the mean of school-level medians is $70,748, calculated from 37 schools with published earnings data. The earnings distribution stretches from $34,128 at the low end to $109,922 at the top, with a 25th-75th percentile band between $59,703 and $85,603 around a median of $70,765. The top-reporting institution in this program is Bentley University at $109,922. These numbers reflect Treasury-derived wages, deferred compensation, and positive self-employment earnings four years after completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled.
Variation across schools matters more than a single national figure. Completer counts and earnings cohort counts are distinct source fields, so the displayed completer count should not be assumed to be the earnings denominator. PlainCollege's debt-to-earnings ratio divides median federal debt by annual median earnings as a descriptive comparison; it is not the Department's formal gainful-employment test. Use the school-by-school table to compare reported outcomes while accounting for cohort size, suppression, program mix, and location.
Arizona State University Campus Immersion accounts for 46.1% of all Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other bachelor's credential graduates
That is an overwhelming concentration — well above the 5% national median for largest-entity share, leaving the rest of Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other a distant remainder — means Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. That school produced 1206 graduates in the most recent cohort, anchoring a meaningful slice of national supply for this field. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other bachelor's credential median earnings varies 3.2× across entities
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other bachelor's credential median earnings ranges from $34,128 (lowest) to $109,922 (highest), a spread of $75,794. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Earnings are measured four years after completion using Treasury-derived records for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. They are descriptive early-career outcomes, not forecasts of longer-term earnings.
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other bachelor's credential median debt varies 3.2× across entities
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other bachelor's credential median debt ranges from $14,808 (lowest) to $47,083 (highest), a spread of $32,275. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Median debt counts only those students who borrowed federal loans, students who paid out-of-pocket or received institutional grants are excluded from the borrower median, which can flatter low-debt schools.
Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, Other debt-to-earnings ratio is 0.37 — low (typically associated with graduates earn substantially more than they borrowed, which is the College Scorecard standard signal for affordability, a ratio under 0.5 means a year of post-completion earnings would clear half the federal-loan principal)
debt-to-earnings ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: this ratio uses federal loan principal, not all education debt, private loans, parent PLUS loans not in the borrower’s name, and institutional debt are excluded Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Earnings trajectory. For the 34 schools reporting both horizons, median earnings are
57% higher four years after completion than one year
after. That is the same graduates measured twice, not two different groups, so it
describes how pay develops early in the career rather than a difference between schools.
A school missing from this count reports only one horizon.
Awards and earnings come from different reference periods, so they are not a count and an
average of the same people. Awards is the number of credentials the school reported for the
latest IPEDS year; median earnings is measured four years after completion, for a separate
pooled cohort of earlier graduates. A school can therefore report zero awards in the latest
year and still have earnings on record. The earnings figure is not the awards figure’s
average, and the awards count is not the earnings sample size. Schools are ranked on the
four-year earnings figure only, so every row is compared on the same basis.

Earnings data comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Field of Study file retrieved in March 2026. The program metric displayed here represents federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after credential completion, using Treasury-derived records published through the Scorecard. Completer counts and debt figures come from the same field-of-study snapshot; the Department refreshes components on schedules documented in its changelog, not one fixed annual date.
