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 827 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($10,748 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($3,983 above). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 88% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Special Education and Teaching accounts for 3% of reported programs at Arcadia University, which is bigger than 80% of schools in this field set and 1.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 58 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Arcadia University's average net price is $29,466 per year, about $117,864 over four years. That is $10,748 above the $18,718 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $58,336 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,983 above the $54,353 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 Arcadia University #725 of 827 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
