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 (1.3%), school-wide average net price ($22,264), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($70,527), and peer averages from 512 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.

How big is the program signal?
Anthropology accounts for 1.3% of reported programs at DePauw University, which is bigger than 86% of schools in this field set and 2.0x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 25 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
DePauw University's average net price is $22,264 per year, about $89,056 over four years. That is $3,666 above the $18,598 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $70,527 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $9,806 above the $60,721 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 DePauw University #297 of 512 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
