What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Sociology at Grand Canyon University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Grand Canyon University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Sociology at the bachelor'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. Completer counts for the most recent cohort are not currently reported for this program-school pairing.

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 $52,925 across all institutions offering Sociology, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at Grand Canyon University, the mean median-earnings figure is $69,494, 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.
