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.

Evidence used here: federal awards/completions share (0.9%), school-wide average net price ($9,879), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($47,869), and peer averages from 725 schools reporting awards in this field. Evidence not included: program enrollment, department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. This page stays available for users because the field appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while its share of reported awards is below 1%.

Questions about this program

What does the share of awards mean?

Social Work accounts for 0.9% of the awards or completions reported for Highline College. That award concentration is higher than at 15% of schools in this field set and is below the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.

How should I read the cost number?

Highline College's average net price is $9,879 per year, about $39,516 over four years. That is $7,571 below the $17,450 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $47,869 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,832 below the $52,701 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 Highline 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 Highline College #136 of 725 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
