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.

How big is the program signal?
Non-Professional Legal Studies accounts for 3.2% of reported programs at Drake University, which is bigger than 95% of schools in this field set and 3.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 82 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Drake University's average net price is $29,127 per year, about $116,508 over four years. That is $9,990 above the $19,137 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $71,901 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $17,379 above the $54,522 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 Drake University #122 of 190 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
