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.

How big is the program signal?
American Sign Language accounts for 1.7% of reported programs at Bethel University, which is bigger than 90% of schools in this field set and 1.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 17 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Bethel University's average net price is $18,610 per year, about $74,440 over four years. That is $6,976 above the $11,634 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,860 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,663 above the $46,197 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 Bethel University #134 of 150 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
