What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Computer and Information Sciences, General at University of California-Los Angeles
This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for University of California-Los Angeles and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Computer and Information Sciences, General 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. 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 $130,214 across all institutions offering Computer and Information Sciences, General, graduates here earn at a level the national comparison cannot yet quantify. Across all programs at University of California-Los Angeles, the mean median-earnings figure is $94,728, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.
