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 88 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 2.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,519 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($15,731 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 45% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Urban Studies/Affairs accounts for 1.2% of reported programs at Cleveland State University, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 2.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 107 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Cleveland State University's average net price is $14,764 per year, about $59,056 over four years. That is $6,519 below the $21,283 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $52,131 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $15,731 below the $67,862 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 Cleveland State University #40 of 88 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
