What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for History at Saint Mary's College of California

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Saint Mary's College of California and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for History 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 11 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Saint Mary's College of California, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings are not yet published for this program-school combination, typically because the completer cohort is too small to preserve taxpayer privacy. Compared to the national mean of $46,387 across all institutions offering History, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at Saint Mary's College of California, the mean median-earnings figure is $67,445, 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 History graduates at Saint Mary's College of California is $24,000, which translates to roughly $200 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan.. 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.
