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 criminal justice and related law-enforcement paths, this data does not prove police academy eligibility, state POST certification, background-check readiness, or employer hiring outcomes.
Evidence used here: federal awards/completions share (0.8%), school-wide average net price ($10,873), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($48,387), and peer averages from 223 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%.

What does the share of awards mean?
Homeland Security accounts for 0.8% of the awards or completions reported for Indiana State University. That award concentration is higher than at 64% 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?
Indiana State University's average net price is $10,873 per year, about $43,492 over four years. That is $6,194 below the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,387 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,038 below the $51,425 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show Criminal Justice licensure or pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have police academy, state POST, certification, placement, or department pass-rate data for this listing. Criminal justice paths vary by state and employer, so verify whether Indiana State University treats the field as academic, pre-law, corrections, forensic, or tied to an approved academy pathway.
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 Indiana State University #58 of 223 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
