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 72 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 lower than the peer average ($5,372 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($15,233 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 54% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Library Science and Administration accounts for 1.7% of reported programs at Chicago State University, which is bigger than 69% 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.
How should I read the cost number?
Chicago State University's average net price is $12,335 per year, about $49,340 over four years. That is $5,372 below the $17,707 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $42,778 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,233 below the $58,011 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 Chicago State University #39 of 72 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
