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

How big is the program signal?
Business/Corporate Communications accounts for 3.6% of reported programs at Chapman University, which is bigger than 82% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 265 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Chapman University's average net price is $46,555 per year, about $186,220 over four years. That is $25,678 above the $20,877 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $70,070 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $10,453 above the $59,617 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 Chapman University #52 of 55 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
