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?
Special Education and Teaching accounts for 2.1% of the awards or completions reported for Western Governors University. That award concentration is higher than at 71% 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?
Western Governors University's average net price is $12,548 per year, about $50,192 over four years. That is $6,170 below the $18,718 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $60,615 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $6,262 above the $54,353 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 Western Governors University'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 Western Governors University #118 of 827 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
