| مستخلص: | Policymakers and the public are increasingly concerned about the payoff students and taxpayers receive from government subsidies for postsecondary education. This concern has led advocates and policymakers to call for stronger quality assurance policies for colleges and universities. Past efforts to enact quality assurance policies have focused on minimum graduation rates or student loan repayment progress. More recent proposals focus instead on earnings. Data collection capabilities can now show what graduates earn after completing a credential from a particular institution, creating opportunities to link quality assurance rules directly to the wages gained from a credential. This report examines how earnings change in the initial years after graduates complete postsecondary credentials. The analysis uses new data from the College Scorecard showing earnings up to five years after students complete their educational programs. It focuses on fields with low initial earnings that are likely to fail earnings-based quality assurance policies tests and fields where students go on to achieve high earnings outside the policy's measurement window.
