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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.

How big is the program signal?
Specialized Sales, Merchandising and Marketing Operations accounts for 0.3% of reported programs at Ashland University, which is bigger than 35% of schools in this field set and below 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?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $52,928 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,881 above the $51,047 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 Ashland University #84 of 124 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
