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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 333 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($870 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($26,306 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 99% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Security Science and Technology accounts for 2% of reported programs at American National University, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 12 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
American National University's average net price is $18,036 per year, about $72,144 over four years. That is $870 above the $17,166 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $26,370 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $26,306 below the $52,676 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 American National University #330 of 333 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
