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 (1.6%), school-wide average net price ($14,580), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($63,534), and peer averages from 1,124 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 1,124 schools that report this field.

Together, those evidence points place Columbia Southern University in the top 30% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Computer and Information Sciences, General accounts for 1.6% of reported programs at Columbia Southern University, which is bigger than 49% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 189 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $63,534 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $11,416 above the $52,118 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 Columbia Southern University #339 of 1,124 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
