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 (1.4%), school-wide average net price ($25,184), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($93,487), and peer averages from 94 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 94 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of B, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($6,285 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($32,499 above). Together, those evidence points place Brown University in the top 39% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Behavioral Sciences accounts for 1.4% of reported programs at Brown University, which is bigger than 69% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 103 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 $6,285 above the $18,899 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 $32,499 above the $60,988 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 #37 of 94 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
