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 63 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 2.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,763 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($33,477 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 84% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Manufacturing Engineering accounts for 1.1% of reported programs at Central State University, which is bigger than 89% of schools in this field set and 2.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 29 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Central State University's average net price is $13,096 per year, about $52,384 over four years. That is $6,763 below the $19,859 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $33,267 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $33,477 below the $66,744 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
