What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Educational Administration and Supervision at Carson-Newman University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Carson-Newman University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Educational Administration and Supervision at the master's credential level. 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. IPEDS reports 38 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Carson-Newman University, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $67,411 represent Treasury-derived wages, deferred compensation, and positive self-employment earnings four years after program completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. Compared to the national mean of $72,103 across all institutions offering Educational Administration and Supervision, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Carson-Newman University, the mean median-earnings figure is $57,644, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Educational Administration and Supervision graduates at Carson-Newman University is $24,250, which translates to roughly $202 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The descriptive debt-to-earnings ratio is 0.36: reported annual earnings exceed cumulative debt. This is a PlainCollege comparison, not a federal gainful-employment verdict. Program-level debt and four-year post-completion earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard field-of-study snapshot retrieved in March 2026.
