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 (3.5%), school-wide average net price ($34,649), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($46,543), and peer averages from 1,964 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 1,964 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($17,514 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($3,804 below). Together, those evidence points place Bard College in the top 98% ROI position within this field set.
