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.

What does the share of awards mean?
Homeland Security accounts for 2.2% of the awards or completions reported for Laredo College. That award concentration is higher than at 87% of schools in this field set and is 2.1x 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?
Laredo College's average net price is $5,798 per year, about $23,192 over four years. That is $11,269 below the $17,067 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $33,934 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,491 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 Laredo College 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 Laredo College #32 of 223 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
