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 475 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,369 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,954 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 67% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication accounts for 0.9% of reported programs at Capital University, which is bigger than 49% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 14 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Capital University's average net price is $22,576 per year, about $90,304 over four years. That is $1,369 above the $21,207 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,143 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,954 below the $57,097 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 Capital University #318 of 475 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
