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 930 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($483 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($4,990 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 61% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Marketing accounts for 2.9% of reported programs at Buena Vista University, which is bigger than 74% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 39 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Buena Vista University's average net price is $18,846 per year, about $75,384 over four years. That is $483 below the $19,329 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $49,156 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,990 below the $54,146 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 Buena Vista University #566 of 930 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
