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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 526 schools that report this field.

The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($17,283 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($17,337 above). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 89% ROI position within this field set.

Ethnic, Cultural Minority, Gender, and Group Studies accounts for 1% of reported programs at Brandeis University, which is bigger than 83% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 37 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?

What should I compare next?
