What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Design and Applied Arts at Pacific Northwest College of Art
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Pacific Northwest College of Art and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Design and Applied Arts at the master'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 2 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Pacific Northwest College of Art, 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 $73,973 across all institutions offering Design and Applied Arts, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify.
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.
