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%), school-wide average net price ($18,425), school-wide ten-year median earnings ($82,592), and peer averages from 411 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 411 schools that report this field.

How big is the program signal?

No. The $82,592 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $26,221 above the $56,371 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
