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 (2%), school-wide average net price ($28,800), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($80,516), and peer averages from 146 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

How big is the program signal?
Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences accounts for 2% of reported programs at Barnard College, which is bigger than 92% of schools in this field set and 2.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 65 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $80,516 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,536 above the $66,980 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 Barnard College #96 of 146 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
