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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (1.4%), school-wide average net price ($21,616), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($54,271), and peer averages from 203 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes.
Value among peer schools

How big is the program signal?
Sustainability Studies accounts for 1.4% of reported programs at Alaska Pacific University, which is bigger than 93% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 6 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 $370 above the $21,246 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 $8,837 below the $63,108 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 #140 of 203 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
