The percentage is the share of this school's reported awards or completions attributed to the field. It is not the share of enrolled students, a student headcount, or proof of department quality. College Scorecard price and earnings on this page are school-wide, not major-specific. Verify current credentials and department outcomes with the school. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.

Teacher Education and Professional Development, Specific Subject Areas accounts for 4.7% of the awards or completions reported for Alma College. That award concentration is higher than at 88% of schools in this field set and is 2.0x the national average award concentration.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,742 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $553 above the $54,189 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Alma College's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Alma College #609 of 1,041 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
