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 640 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($6,947 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($593 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 18% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Public Health accounts for 3.6% of reported programs at Governors State University, which is bigger than 88% of schools in this field set and 1.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 92 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Governors State University's average net price is $12,329 per year, about $49,316 over four years. That is $6,947 below the $19,276 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $58,169 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $593 above the $57,576 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 Governors State University #116 of 640 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
