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 81 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is 1.9x the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is lower than the peer average ($3,838 below), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($2,307 below). That combination produces a B value grade and a top 37% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Computational Science accounts for 1.2% of reported programs at Indiana University-Bloomington, which is bigger than 89% of schools in this field set and 1.9x the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 435 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
Indiana University-Bloomington's average net price is $16,264 per year, about $65,056 over four years. That is $3,838 below the $20,102 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $63,742 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $2,307 below the $66,049 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 Indiana University-Bloomington #30 of 81 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
