What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Astronomy and Astrophysics at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Astronomy and Astrophysics 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. Completer counts for the most recent cohort are not currently reported for this program-school pairing.
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 $74,097 across all institutions offering Astronomy and Astrophysics, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, the mean median-earnings figure is $93,161, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.
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.
