The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program – not the school as a whole.

Median graduate earnings are not published for this program-school combination, which can reflect source reporting or privacy treatment. Compared to the national mean of $54,750 across all institutions offering Communication and Media Studies, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify.
