What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Social Work at Florida State University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Florida State University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Social Work at the post-baccalaureate certificate 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. Completer counts for the most recent cohort are not currently reported for this program-school pairing.

Median graduate earnings of $57,835 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 $61,840 across all institutions offering Social Work, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Florida State University, the mean median-earnings figure is $72,872, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. Median federal debt is not separately reported for this program at this school. 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.
