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 (1.1%), school-wide average net price ($20,082), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($44,296), and peer averages from 124 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

Together, those evidence points place Ferrum College in the top 88% ROI position within this field set.
