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 (9.4%), school-wide average net price ($49,180), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($62,832), and peer averages from 930 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

How big is the program signal?
Marketing accounts for 9.4% of reported programs at Emerson College, which is bigger than 99% of schools in this field set and 4.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 363 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Emerson College's average net price is $49,180 per year, about $196,720 over four years. That is $29,851 above the $19,329 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $62,832 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,686 above the $54,146 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 Emerson College #922 of 930 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
