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 14 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 5.2x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($14,394 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($21,337 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 100% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Ocean Engineering accounts for 2% of reported programs at Florida Institute of Technology, which is bigger than 93% of schools in this field set and 5.2x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 69 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Florida Institute of Technology's average net price is $35,639 per year, about $142,556 over four years. That is $14,394 above the $21,245 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $43,137 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $21,337 below the $64,474 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 Institute of Technology #14 of 14 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
