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.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 72 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 4.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($1,446 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($10,410 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 74% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Library Science and Administration accounts for 8.8% of reported programs at Emporia State University, which is bigger than 96% of schools in this field set and 4.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 197 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Emporia State University's average net price is $16,261 per year, about $65,044 over four years. That is $1,446 below the $17,707 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $47,601 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $10,410 below 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?
