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 (1.4%), school-wide average net price ($27,182), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($58,427), and peer averages from 217 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 217 schools that report this field.
The answer is a value-screen grade of D, not a verified department verdict. The reported share is 2.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($2,582 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($12,253 below). Together, those evidence points place Hope College in the top 80% ROI position within this field set.

Are the earnings major-specific?

What should I compare next?
