A new U.S. law requires colleges to demonstrate that graduates earn at least the median wage of high school diploma holders ($36,000 annually in California) to maintain federal loan eligibility. About 300 California programs, including cosmetology, arts, and theater, may fail this threshold, with most failing programs at for-profit colleges and some community colleges and universities.
