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.
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 549 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($4,850 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($2,302 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 29% ROI position within this field set.

The enrollment proxy is about 12 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,080 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,302 above the $51,778 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
