What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Music at Johns Hopkins University
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Johns Hopkins University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Music 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 $35,623 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 $35,623 across all institutions reporting Music, graduates here earn above the national average for this program. Across all programs at Johns Hopkins University, the mean median-earnings figure is $115,002, 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.
