What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Social Work at University of St Francis

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for University of St Francis and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Social Work 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. IPEDS reports 10 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at University of St Francis, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $61,372 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 $63,750 across all institutions offering Social Work, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at University of St Francis, the mean median-earnings figure is $83,682, 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 Social Work graduates at University of St Francis is $35,303, which translates to roughly $294 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan.

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.

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.

PlainCollege's Scorecard snapshots, retrieved March–July 2026, contain 6,243 postsecondary institutions and 70,827 school-and-program earnings records.
