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 (3.6%), school-wide average net price ($31,495), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($56,778), and peer averages from 76 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 76 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 8.6x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($10,099 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($3,383 below). Together, those evidence points place Biola University in the top 92% ROI position within this field set.

The enrollment proxy is about 124 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $56,778 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,383 below the $60,161 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
