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 395 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 ($1,934 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($147 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 67% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Geography and Cartography accounts for 0.4% of reported programs at Central Michigan University, which is bigger than 52% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 38 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Central Michigan University's average net price is $17,597 per year, about $70,388 over four years. That is $1,934 above the $15,663 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $55,874 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $147 below the $56,021 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 Central Michigan University #264 of 395 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
