What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Music at Muhlenberg College
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Muhlenberg College and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Music 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. IPEDS reports 16 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Muhlenberg College, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.
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 $44,011 across all institutions offering Music, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at Muhlenberg College, the mean median-earnings figure is $73,387, 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.
