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 (2%), school-wide average net price ($16,836), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($51,836), and peer averages from 119 schools reporting a positive signal in this field.
