What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities at University of Maryland Global Campus

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for University of Maryland Global Campus and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities at the associate's credential level.

IPEDS reports 2,194 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at University of Maryland Global Campus, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $56,881 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 $42,233 across all institutions offering Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities, graduates here earn above the national average for this program. Across all programs at University of Maryland Global Campus, the mean median-earnings figure is $83,804, 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 Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities graduates at University of Maryland Global Campus is $7,912, which translates to roughly $66 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.14 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.
