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 53 schools that report this field.

The reported share is above the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,165 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($7,535 below). That combination produces a A+ value grade and a top 13% ROI position within this field set.
