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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (1.7%), school-wide average net price ($15,911), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($46,674), and peer averages from 827 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.

How big is the program signal?

How should I read the cost number?
Black Hills State University's average net price is $15,911 per year, about $63,644 over four years. That is $2,807 below the $18,718 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?

Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Black Hills State University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
What should I compare next?
