What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Engineering Science at Middlesex College
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Middlesex College and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Engineering Science at the associate'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 33 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Middlesex College, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.
Median graduate earnings of $74,449 represent Treasury-verified wages approximately one year after program completion, drawn from Social Security Administration records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Compared to the national mean of $73,617 across all institutions offering Engineering Science, graduates here earn above the national average for this program. Across all programs at Middlesex College, the mean median-earnings figure is $57,594, 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 earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard FOS release, updated annually.

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.
