What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Education, General at Wilkes University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Wilkes University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Education, General 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 of $45,273 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 $45,871 across all institutions offering Education, General, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Wilkes University, the mean median-earnings figure is $70,142, 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 Education, General graduates at Wilkes University is $27,000, which translates to roughly $225 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.60 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.
