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 (6.8%), school-wide average net price ($27,715), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($52,113), and peer averages from 401 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
Compared with 401 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 3.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($8,365 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($3,747 below). Together, those evidence points place Friends University in the top 93% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Curriculum and Instruction accounts for 6.8% of reported programs at Friends University, which is bigger than 94% of schools in this field set and 3.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 71 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Friends University's average net price is $27,715 per year, about $110,860 over four years. That is $8,365 above the $19,350 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $52,113 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $3,747 below the $55,860 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 Friends University #373 of 401 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
