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

This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($4,157 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($11,106 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 53% ROI position within this field set.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,874 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $11,106 below the $66,980 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
