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 (11.9%), school-wide average net price ($11,745), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($60,327), and peer averages from 72 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?
Library Science and Administration accounts for 11.9% of reported programs at Dominican University, which is bigger than 97% of schools in this field set and 6.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 305 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Dominican University's average net price is $11,745 per year, about $46,980 over four years. That is $5,962 below the $17,707 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $60,327 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,316 above the $58,011 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 Dominican University #9 of 72 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
