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.
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

The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($15,853 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($11,528 above). That combination produces a D value grade and a top 91% ROI position within this field set.
