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 (11.9%), school-wide average net price ($7,577), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($39,572), and peer averages from 355 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.

Questions about this program

How big is the program signal?

Precision Metal Working accounts for 11.9% of reported programs at Hill College, which is bigger than 94% of schools in this field set and 3.1x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 269 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?

No. The $39,572 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $755 below the $40,327 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.

What should I compare next?
