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 (5.5%), school-wide average net price ($25,184), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($93,487), and peer averages from 333 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 333 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of B, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 6.6x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($3,190 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($26,969 above). Together, those evidence points place Brown University in the top 33% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Applied Mathematics accounts for 5.5% of reported programs at Brown University, which is bigger than 98% of schools in this field set and 6.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 399 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Brown University's average net price is $25,184 per year, about $100,736 over four years. That is $3,190 above the $21,994 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $93,487 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $26,969 above the $66,518 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 Brown University #109 of 333 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
