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 1,346 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 ($2,783 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($1,429 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 67% ROI position within this field set.
