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 (5.8%), school-wide average net price ($28,985), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($78,411), and peer averages from 273 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.

How big is the program signal?
Research and Experimental Psychology accounts for 5.8% of reported programs at Hamilton College, which is bigger than 82% of schools in this field set and 2.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 119 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Hamilton College's average net price is $28,985 per year, about $115,940 over four years. That is $7,464 above the $21,521 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $78,411 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $12,615 above the $65,796 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 Hamilton College #178 of 273 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
