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 391 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 2.0x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($6,207 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($13,413 below). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 95% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Linguistic, Comparative, and Related Language Studies and Services accounts for 1.2% of reported programs at Hampshire College, which is bigger than 90% of schools in this field set and 2.0x the national average concentration.

How should I read the cost number?
Hampshire College's average net price is $24,034 per year, about $96,136 over four years. That is $6,207 above the $17,827 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $46,938 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $13,413 below the $60,351 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
