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 242 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 lower than the peer average ($6,885 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($4,574 below). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 39% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Graphic Communications accounts for 2.1% of reported programs at Cecil College, which is bigger than 77% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 28 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Cecil College's average net price is $9,658 per year, about $38,632 over four years. That is $6,885 below the $16,543 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $43,952 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $4,574 below the $48,526 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 Cecil College #95 of 242 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
