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 273 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.6x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($7,716 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($30,374 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 70% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Research and Experimental Psychology accounts for 14.3% of reported programs at Cottey College, which is bigger than 100% of schools in this field set and 5.6x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 36 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Cottey College's average net price is $13,805 per year, about $55,220 over four years. That is $7,716 below the $21,521 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $35,422 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $30,374 below the $65,796 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 Cottey College #192 of 273 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
