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.

What does the share of awards mean?
Social Work accounts for 4.9% of the awards or completions reported for University of Northern Iowa. That award concentration is higher than at 77% of schools in this field set and is above 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?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,177 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,476 above 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 University of Northern Iowa'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 University of Northern Iowa #312 of 725 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
