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 203 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 4.3x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($2,180 below), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($38,709 above). That combination produces a A value grade and a top 14% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Sustainability Studies accounts for 2.7% of reported programs at Harvard University, which is bigger than 95% of schools in this field set and 4.3x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 202 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Harvard University's average net price is $19,066 per year, about $76,264 over four years. That is $2,180 below the $21,246 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $101,817 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $38,709 above the $63,108 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 Harvard University #29 of 203 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
