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 16 schools that report this field.

The reported share is 4.8x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($81 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($333 above). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 50% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
History and Political Science accounts for 4.1% of reported programs at Eureka College, which is bigger than 94% of schools in this field set and 4.8x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 21 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Eureka College's average net price is $17,349 per year, about $69,396 over four years. That is $81 below the $17,430 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $51,641 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $333 above the $51,308 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 Eureka College #8 of 16 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
