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 (0.2%), school-wide average net price ($8,752), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($56,746), and peer averages from 155 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. 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

How big is the program signal?
Data Science accounts for 0.2% of reported programs at Florida Atlantic University, which is bigger than 37% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 38 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $56,746 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $7,425 below the $64,171 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 Florida Atlantic University #7 of 155 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
