What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions at Southeast Community College Area

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Southeast Community College Area and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions at the associate'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 23 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Southeast Community College Area, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $37,466 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 $38,738 across all institutions offering Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Southeast Community College Area, the mean median-earnings figure is $50,350, 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 Mental and Social Health Services and Allied Professions graduates at Southeast Community College Area is $21,438, which translates to roughly $179 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.57 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.

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.
