What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Marine Transportation at Ocean Corporation

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Ocean Corporation and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Marine Transportation at the 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. IPEDS reports 101 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Ocean Corporation, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $49,951 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 $50,265 across all institutions offering Marine Transportation, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Ocean Corporation, the mean median-earnings figure is $53,269, 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 Marine Transportation graduates at Ocean Corporation is $9,500, which translates to roughly $79 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.19 is under the 1.0 threshold the College Scorecard uses to flag favorable gainful-employment outcomes — earnings in year one already exceed cumulative borrowing. Program-level debt and earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard FOS release, updated annually.
