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.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 266 schools that report this field.

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($6,501 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($14,429 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 48% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?

The enrollment proxy is about 21 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $68,712 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $14,429 above the $54,283 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
