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.

The reported share is 7.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($14,807 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($14,348 below).
