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. For regulated fields, this data also does not prove state licensure eligibility, clinical placement quality, board results, certification outcomes, or exam pass rates.
Evidence used here: federal program-share data (3.7%), school-wide average net price ($19,555), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($54,771), and peer averages from 329 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 329 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of C, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 1.5x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($1,080 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,421 below). Together, those evidence points place Hardin-Simmons University in the top 65% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Communication Disorders Sciences and Services accounts for 3.7% of reported programs at Hardin-Simmons University, which is bigger than 84% of schools in this field set and 1.5x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 47 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Hardin-Simmons University's average net price is $19,555 per year, about $78,220 over four years. That is $1,080 above the $18,475 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,771 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,421 below the $57,192 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
Does this show licensure exam pass rates?
No. EduGradify does not have program-level board, certification, state licensure, clinical placement, or exam pass-rate data for this listing. If this field leads to a regulated credential, confirm Hardin-Simmons University's current approval status and published outcomes with the department and the relevant state licensing body.
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 Hardin-Simmons University #215 of 329 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
