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 220 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 2.0x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,215 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($8,036 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 28% ROI position within this field set.
