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 (0.1%), school-wide average net price ($19,066), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($101,817), and peer averages from 40 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. This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 40 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of A, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($2,235 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($46,617 above). Together, those evidence points place Harvard University in the top 5% ROI position within this field set.

No. The $101,817 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $46,617 above the $55,200 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
