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 (0.5%), school-wide average net price ($26,364), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($53,316), and peer averages from 60 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%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 60 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($6,584 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($4,563 below). Together, those evidence points place Doane University in the top 85% ROI position within this field set.
