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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (0.7%), school-wide average net price ($21,590), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($102,491), and peer averages from 46 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%.
