What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research
Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research is tracked across 58 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 doctoral 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 $96,727, calculated from 6 schools with published earnings data. The earnings distribution stretches from $75,746 at the low end to $110,599 at the top, with a 25th-75th percentile band between $92,899 and $105,994 around a median of $99,094. The top-reporting institution in this program is Johns Hopkins University at $110,599. These numbers reflect earnings measured roughly a year after completion, using Social Security Administration tax records linked to federal financial aid applicants.
Variation across schools matters more than a single national figure. Completers counts reported per school indicate how many graduates’ earnings feed the median, which means small programs produce more volatile numbers. Median debt at the program level, when paired with earnings, yields a debt-to-earnings ratio that is the College Scorecard’s standard affordability signal — ratios under 1.0 indicate earnings exceed cumulative debt. Use the school-by-school table to spot institutions where Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research graduates out-earn peers at comparable cost, and to surface gainful-employment patterns that only become visible at the CIP-code level.
A T Still University of Health Sciences accounts for 56.7% of all Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research doctoral credential graduates
That concentration — well above the 5% national median for largest-entity share — means Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. That school produced 55 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.
Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research debt-to-earnings ratio is 0.58 — near the typical range (US average ~1) — aligned with the typical 1:1 ratio that defines federal gainful-employment thresholds
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 Variation between sub-units within Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research is typically wider than the Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research-aggregate figure suggests.

Earnings data comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Field of Study file. Median earnings represent graduates who received federal financial aid, drawn from U.S. Treasury tax records linked to federal student aid applicants. Completers count and debt figures reflect program-level data reported through IPEDS. Data is updated annually.
