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 (0.8%), school-wide average net price ($24,323), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($65,337), and peer averages from 123 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. 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%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 123 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of C, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($4,603 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($213 below). Together, those evidence points place Auburn University in the top 76% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Architecture accounts for 0.8% of reported programs at Auburn University, which is bigger than 55% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 204 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Auburn University's average net price is $24,323 per year, about $97,292 over four years. That is $4,603 above the $19,720 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $65,337 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $213 below the $65,550 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 Auburn University #93 of 123 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
