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 37 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 6.0x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($11,704 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($34,147 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 65% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Geography and Environmental Studies accounts for 3.5% of reported programs at Dartmouth College, which is bigger than 95% of schools in this field set and 6.0x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 160 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Dartmouth College's average net price is $29,519 per year, about $118,076 over four years. That is $11,704 above the $17,815 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $97,434 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $34,147 above the $63,287 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 Dartmouth College #24 of 37 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
