This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Florida State University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Apparel and Textiles at the master's credential level.

Compared to the national mean of $58,891 across all institutions offering Apparel and Textiles, graduates here earn below the national average for this program.

About the Data

Data from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard Field of Study file. Earnings are median earnings for graduates after completion, drawn from U.S. Treasury tax records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Institutional characteristics come from IPEDS. Debt figures represent the median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation.

Debt-to-earnings ratio compares cumulative debt to annual earnings. A ratio below 1.0 indicates that annual earnings exceed total debt, generally considered favorable. Estimated monthly payments assume a standard 10-year repayment plan.
