- outcomes.startingSalary: College Scorecard-derived post-completion earnings figure for Hospitality Management bachelor's graduates, not a self-reported "starting salary" from a primary HTM career-outcomes report; the site does not specify an exact reporting year. A 2001 Purdue News release separately cited first-year earnings of "$25,000 to $40,000," which is now clearly stale and was not used.
- outcomes.employmentRate: Program's own major page states "a 98% job placement rate" without specifying a graduating class year. A separate HTM Career Center page cites "more than 94% of graduates secure employment within six months of graduation" — a consistent but not identical figure, likely from a different survey cohort/methodology.

| admissions.satActEquivalent | 1345 SAT-equivalent composite | 88 | low | Purdue Common Data Set (CDS) 2026: Acceptance Rate, SAT, GPA |
- admissions.acceptanceRate: University-wide (West Lafayette) rate for the 2025-26 cycle; Purdue does not publish a separate acceptance rate for the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, since admission is to the university/college rather than directly to the school.
- admissions.satActEquivalent: Midpoint of the university-wide SAT middle-50% range (1220-1470); not HTM-specific.
