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.

How big is the program signal?

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $75,525 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,669 above the $66,856 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
