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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (5.7%), school-wide average net price ($29,127), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($71,901), and peer averages from 150 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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 150 schools that report this field.

Together, those evidence points place Drake University in the top 69% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration accounts for 5.7% of reported programs at Drake University, which is bigger than 77% of schools in this field set and above the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 145 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 $7,708 above the $21,419 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 $10,069 above the $61,832 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Drake University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 #104 of 150 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
