College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.

How big is the program signal?
Outdoor Education accounts for 3.7% of reported programs at Alaska Pacific University, which is bigger than 85% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 17 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Alaska Pacific University's average net price is $21,616 per year, about $86,464 over four years. That is $2,890 above the $18,726 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,271 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $6,370 above the $47,901 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks Alaska Pacific University #24 of 40 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
