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 (6.2%), school-wide average net price ($23,544), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($42,101), and peer averages from 279 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
Compared with 279 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 7.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,856 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,645 below). Together, those evidence points place Anderson University in the top 95% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Educational/Instructional Media Design accounts for 6.2% of reported programs at Anderson University, which is bigger than 99% of schools in this field set and 7.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 196 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Anderson University's average net price is $23,544 per year, about $94,176 over four years. That is $3,856 above the $19,688 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,101 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,645 below the $56,746 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 Anderson University #264 of 279 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
