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.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.3%), school-wide average net price ($18,476), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($61,580), and peer averages from 213 schools reporting a positive signal in this field. Evidence not included: department-level salary, placement rate, course quality, licensure eligibility, certification, or exam pass-rate outcomes. 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

How big is the program signal?
Business/Managerial Economics accounts for 0.3% of reported programs at Central Washington University, which is bigger than 34% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 23 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $61,580 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,312 above the $58,268 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
