What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations
Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations is tracked across 11 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 associate'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 $54,316, calculated from 2 schools with published earnings data. The top-reporting institution in this program is Cochise County Community College District at $75,493. 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 Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations graduates out-earn peers at comparable cost, and to surface gainful-employment patterns that only become visible at the CIP-code level.
Cochise County Community College District accounts for 100.0% of all Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations associate's credential graduates
That concentration — well above the 5% national median for largest-entity share — means Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. That school produced 913 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.
Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations operates only 11 institutions offer this program — among the most consolidated governance structures in the country
Most Intelligence, Command Control and Information Operations institutions offer this program are specialty-program scarcity that concentrates national supply in a small set of institutions — graduates often command stronger employer attention because the talent pool is structurally narrower. Consolidation produces narrower variance because resources pool across larger populations, but it can also mask intra-institutions offer this program inequities — sub-institutions offer this program differences within a single institutions offer this program are not visible at this aggregation level. Consolidated systems typically rely more heavily on top-down funding formulas than on local revenue variability.
