What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Music at St Petersburg College
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for St Petersburg College and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Music 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.

Median graduate earnings of $32,573 represent Treasury-derived wages, deferred compensation, and positive self-employment earnings four years after program completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. Compared to the national mean of $36,881 across all institutions offering Music, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at St Petersburg College, the mean median-earnings figure is $56,668, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.
