% > threshold is ED's own share of graduates earning above the federal earnings threshold, taken from the best available measurement window (4-, 5- or 1-year) pooled across all nine College Scorecard Field-of-Study releases; a chip marks any figure not on the 4-year window. Earnings premium compares median earnings four years out to the U.S. Census ACS median for a high-school graduate (undergraduate credentials) or bachelor's-degree holder (graduate credentials) in the institution's state. 2 of 3 yrs flags programs below that benchmark in two of the latest three reported cohort-years — the statutory trigger under the 2025 federal earnings-premium test (effective July 1, 2026). Indicative estimates; the Department of Education's official determination may differ. Figures lag the current year by 2–3 years.

Which colleges have the highest-paying Medical Illustration and Informatics programs?
By median earnings four years after completion, the highest-paying Medical Illustration and Informatics programs in this dataset are Duke University ($163,348), University of Utah ($137,424), Northwestern University ($132,068). Earnings reflect College Scorecard field-of-study data (2024-25) and vary by credential level and location.
Are Medical Illustration and Informatics programs at risk under the federal earnings-premium test?
Indicatively, 0 of the 33 Medical Illustration and Informatics programs with both earnings and a state/national benchmark have median graduate earnings below the earnings-premium benchmark used by the 2025 federal test (effective July 1, 2026), under which a program can lose Title IV eligibility if its graduates earn less than a typical worker without the credential for 2 of 3 years. This estimate uses College Scorecard earnings vs U.S. Census ACS medians; the Department of Education's official determination uses its own cohort definition and may differ.
