What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians at Northwestern State University of Louisiana

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Northwestern State University of Louisiana and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians 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 18 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Northwestern State University of Louisiana, 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 $84,267 across all institutions offering Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at Northwestern State University of Louisiana, the mean median-earnings figure is $56,640, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians graduates at Northwestern State University of Louisiana is $27,000, which translates to roughly $225 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. 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.

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.

PlainCollege's Scorecard snapshots, retrieved March–July 2026, contain 6,243 postsecondary institutions and 70,827 school-and-program earnings records.
